Size of the urogenital hiatus in the levator ani muscles in normal women and women with pelvic organ prolapse.
TLDR
Increasing pelvic organ prolapse is associated with increasing urogenital hiatus size; the hiatus is larger after several failed operations than after successful surgery or single failure.About:

Biometry of the pubovisceral muscle and levator hiatus by three-dimensional pelvic floor ultrasound.
TL;DR: The anatomy of the levator hiatus in young nulliparous women with the help of 3D ultrasound is defined and the pubovisceral muscle is defined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Levator ani muscle stretch induced by simulated vaginal birth.
TL;DR: The medial pubococcygeus muscles undergo the largest stretch of any levator ani muscles during vaginal birth and are therefore at the greatest risk for stretch-related injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Female pelvic organ prolapse: a comparison of triphasic dynamic MR imaging and triphasic fluoroscopic cystocolpoproctography.
TL;DR: Although dynamic MR imaging underestimates the extent of cystoceles and enteroceles, it has the advantage of revealing all pelvic organs and the pelvic floor musculature in a multiplanar cine-loop presentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ballooning of the levator hiatus
TL;DR: ‘normality’ for hiatal area is defined by assessing its relationship with symptoms and clinical signs of prolapse by assessing the levator hiatus's role in pelvic organ prolapse.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural anatomy of the posterior pelvic compartment as it relates to rectocele.
TL;DR: Midline perineal membrane union supports the distal posterior compartment and a fascial connection between the pelvic diaphragm and vagina supports the mid vagina.

The role of partial denervation of the pelvic floor in the aetiology of genitourinary prolapse and stress incontinence of urine. A neurophysiological study
TL;DR: The results suggest that partial denervation of the pelvic floor with subsequent reinnervation is a normal accompaniment of ageing and is increased by childbirth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental study of the reflex mechanism controlling the muscles of the pelvic floor
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the mechanism is reflex and it is proposed that it be known as the postural reflex of the pelvic floor, and inhibition of this reflex by rectal distention is described.
