Abstract
The connective tissue supports of the human female urethra have been investigated in 14 cadavers and 20 fetuses. In all cases the urethra was found to be suspended from the pubic bone by bilaterally symmetrical anterior, posterior and intermediate pubo‐urethral ligaments. The anterior and posterior ligaments were formed by reflections of the inferior and superior fascial layers of the urogenital diaphragm. The intermediate ligament represented a fusion of these fascial layers and no transverse perineal ligament was found.
