Anatomical terminology []

The superficial perineal pouch (also superficial perineal compartment/space/sac) is a compartment of the perineum.

The superficial perineal pouch is an open compartment, due to the fact that anteriorly, the space communicates freely with the potential space lying between the superficial fascia of the anterior abdominal wall and the anterior abdominal muscles:
