>>A bright student has stumped me. She found in a textbook the statement: "The ovaries are situated in the adnexa, the regions of the true pelvis posterior to the broad ligaments."
>>
>>Yet, I had always taught that the "uterine adnexa" was the area bilateral to the uterus, regardless if it was anterior or posterior to the broad ligament. So would an appendix, low in the pelvis, just anterior to the ovary (and broad ligament) be considered in the "adnexa"?
>>
>>Taber's defines "Adnexal" as "Adjacent or appending". So, in general gynecologic vernacular should we emphasize the "adjacent" or the "appending" part of the definition?
