Practical Pelvic Floor Ultrasonography, Third Edition, features new, fully updated, and expanded chapters. Introductory chapters fully elucidate the anatomical basis underlying disorders of the pelvic floor and the instrumentation and techniques required for endovaginal, endoanal, and 4D perineal and introital pelvic floor ultrasound. This is followed by a chapter reviewing the applications and literature for 4D perineal pelvic floor ultrasound. Next, the book covers 2D and 3D endovaginal imaging of the levator ani muscles, pelvic floor trauma, the urethra and bladder, and the anorectal area; 2D and 3D transperineal imaging; and 3D endoanal imaging. Case reviews are extensively expanded at the conclusion, and a final chapter challenges the reader to evaluate exemplar ultrasound images.
Written entirely by experts in their fields, the third edition of Practical Pelvic Floor Ultrasonography: A Multicompartmental Approach to 2D/3D/4D Ultrasonography of the Pelvic Floor is a comprehensive resource that will be of great value to urogynecologists, colorectal surgeons, obstetricians, gynecologists, female urologists, ultrasonographers, radiologists, physiotherapists, and fellows in urogynecology and colorectal surgery.
