Abstract

Ultrasound imaging is rapidly replacing radiological methods in the investigation of pelvic floor disorders. Transrectal, transvaginal/introital and transperineal/translabial methods are being employed, with the latter probably the most widespread due to ease of use and availability of equipment. Position and mobility of the bladder neck, bladder wall thickness, pelvic floor muscle activity and uterovaginal prolapse can be quantified, and color Doppler may be used to document stress urinary incontinence. Ultrasound imaging has simplified audit activities and enhanced our understanding of the effects of incontinence and prolapse surgery, such as the new synthetic suburethral slings. In recent years, imaging methods have contributed significantly to our understanding of the traumatic effects of childbirth on the pelvic floor. Finally, the assessment of pelvic floor biomechanics may have implications for clinical obstetrics and ultimately for the prevention of delivery‐related pelvic floor trauma. Copyright © 2003 ISUOG.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
