Orientation and topography of the suspensory ligaments of the penis. (A) The SBFL forms a sling around the shaft of the penis and continues into the scrotum as the median raphe ligament (star). (B) The anterior fibers of the DMBFL split into right and left bundles surrounding the penile shaft. (C) The DMBFL splits into anterior and posterior fiber bundles with the anterior fiber bundles fusing the SBFL and the posterior fiber bundle inserting into the deep fascia of the dorsum of the penis, respectively. (D) The topography and divisions of the suspensory ligament complex of the penis. ARC, arcuate ligament; DMBFL, deep median bundle of the fundiform ligament; L, left side; PB, pubic bone; SBFL, superficial bundle of the fundiform ligament; SPL, suspensory penile ligament; R, right side.
