Rectovesical pouch

This video tutorial explores the anatomical space known as the recto vesical pouch, found only in the male pelvic cavity. It describes its location between the rectum and urinary bladder, its lining by the peritoneum, and its role in providing mobility to intraperitoneal organs. The tutorial also compares the male pelvic anatomy with the female pelvis, highlighting the absence of the recto vesical pouch in females due to the presence of the uterus. The video concludes with an invitation to explore more anatomy resources on Kenhub.
