Abstract
- This article discusses various pelvic floor ultrasonographic modalities and the clinical applications of ultrasonography of the pelvic floor. Ultrasonography provides a detailed anatomic assessment of the muscles and surrounding organs of the pelvic floor. Different anatomic variabilities and pathologic conditions, such as prolapse, fecal incontinence, urinary symptoms, vaginal wall cysts, synthetic implanted material, and pelvic pain, are assessed with pelvic floor ultrasonography. This imaging modality is an important adjunct to the evaluation and diagnosis of pelvic floor disorders.
