pubovesical ligament

The pubovesical ligaments are anatomical structures that help support the urinary bladder. These ligaments are formed from the pelvic fascia, a connective tissue layer that surrounds pelvic organs. They extend from the front and sides of the bladder to the pubic bone, creating a hammock-like support for the inferolateral surfaces and neck of the bladder.1

The urinary bladder itself is a hollow, muscular organ that serves as the main reservoir for urine. It is located in the pelvic floor, behind the pubic symphysis and below the peritoneum. The bladder's shape and size change depending on the amount of urine it contains.1
