| Abstract | Hypothesis / aims of study Levator muscle avulsion occurs in 15-30% of primiparae (1). It is associated with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and with prolapse recurrence after surgery (2). Avulsion is usually diagnosed on tomographic translabial ultrasound imaging(3) by assessing the insertion of the puborectalis muscle. Several authors, including this group, have used postoperatively diagnosed avulsion as a proxy for preoperative avulsion, assuming that prolapse surgery would not change appearances. This study was designed to ascertain whether this assumption is true, by comparing pelvic floor assessment for avulsion in preand postoperative volume imaging data sets. |
