Preliminary investigations on serum SDH activities in patients with carcinoma of the cervix uteri revealed a possible relation to malignant growth (RIO). However, the increase of serum activity in cases of patients afflicted with carcinoma is much smaller than in cases of hepatitis.

The ventral border of the perirectal compartment represents the border between posterior and middle compartment. It differs in a craniocaudal direction, i. e. to the peritoneum of the recto-uterine pouch at a level with the cervix uteri and the fornix vaginae and to the posterior wall of the vagina more caudally. As we have recently shown [ 1,24,36] a two layered recto-...

Our findings that have been taken from anatomic sections of elder specimens unrestrictedly correlate with the results of the MRI taken from young adult female pelves (Fig. 1.13).
