Journal ArticleDOI
Pelvic organ prolapse and collagen-associated disorders
Karin Lammers,Sabrina L. Lince,Marian A. Spath,Léon C van Kempen,Jan C.M. Hendriks,Mark E. Vierhout,Kirsten B. Kluivers +6 more
TL;DR: POP and other collagen-associated disorders may have a common aetiology, originating at the molecular level of the collagens, which is associated with changes in collagen strength and metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosing pubovisceral avulsions: a systematic review of the clinical relevance of a prevalent anatomical defect.
TL;DR: Pubovisceral avulsions, as diagnosed by MR imaging or perineal ultrasonography, are associated with higher stages of POP and recurrence of POP after surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlating signs and symptoms with pubovisceral muscle avulsions on magnetic resonance imaging
Karin Lammers,Jurgen J. Fütterer,Joanna IntHout,Mathias Prokop,Mark E. Vierhout,Kirsten B. Kluivers +5 more
TL;DR: The variables episiotomy, previous anterior vaginal wall reconstructive surgery, POP-Q measurement "C," and symptoms scored with the Urogenital Distress Inventory "genital prolapse" and Defecatory Distressed Inventory "obstructive defecation" subscales are correlated with pubovisceral muscle avulsions on pelvic floor MRI.
Journal ArticleDOI
A pictorial overview of pubovisceral muscle avulsions on pelvic floor magnetic resonance imaging
TL;DR: Pelvic floor MR imaging is a non-invasive method that enables adequate identification of pubovisceral muscle avulsions which are known risk factors for the development of POP and can be scored with good to excellent inter- and intra-observer reliability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inter- and intraobserver reliability for diagnosing levator ani changes on magnetic resonance imaging.
TL;DR: This study aims to assess the inter‐ and intraobserver reliability of the diagnosis of pubovisceral muscle avulsions and measurements of the levator hiatus on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to investigate the role of EMT in this diagnosis.
