Denonvilliers’ fascia is thought to be a multilayered fascial structure, based on its embryological development with the neurovascular bundle embedded within it. Recently, this theory had been proven histologically and by confocal microscopy in many published articles. However, the literature does not report on how surgeons can identify these structures. We aimed to determine the optimal surgical approach for preserving these critical structures.
