Caudal distension of female pelvic floor is common and results in perineal descent and a caudally curved hiatus (so called 'warping'). All the available ultrasound techniques to date however aim to reconstruct the pelvic floor using linear techniques (flat plane reconstruction).

Abstract
Caudal distension of female pelvic floor is common and results in perineal descent and a caudally curved hiatus (so called 'warping'). All the available ultrasound techniques to date however aim to reconstruct the pelvic floor using linear techniques (flat plane reconstruction). We aimed to evaluate the feasibility, reproducibility and potential usefulness of a new 3D technique, capable of reconstructing a curved plane of the levator hiatus.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
