(RIGHT SIDE ONLY) Hemisect the pelvis before exploring the pelvic cavity and its contents.

  1. Use a scalpel to transect the right crus where it meets the body of the clitoris.
  2. Use a saw to make two cuts through the pelvis. Make a median cut through the pelvis between the labia and through the previous cut in the crus of the clitoris. Extend this cut through the sacrum to the level of the origin of the right common iliac artery. Make a transverse cut from lateral to medial to meet the first saw cut along the midline (level of the origin of the right common iliac artery). Remove the right hemipelvis and lower extremity. Do not extend the transverse cut to the left side of the body. The left common iliac artery and aorta should remain intact. Attempt to identify the sphincter urethrovaginalis and compressor urethrae muscles (the classical urogenital diaphragm) superior to the bulb of the vestibule.
