?:definition
  • Surgical retractors designed to temporarily separate and hold back the edges of a pelvic floor (i.e., perineum) wall incision, exposing and providing access to the rectum and associated sexual and/or urinary structures. Perineal retractors typically consist of a variety of manual instruments with two or three flexible bent swivel blades; they usually include towel pegs and two scissors-like handles with a ratchet that permit self-retention. Self-retained perineal retractors are also available. Perineal wall retractors are used in surgical procedures involving the rectum, prostate in males, vagina in women, and other tissues accessible through a perineal incision.
