Objective: Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI) Doppler is a novel technique. We aim to evaluate intra- and interobserver reliability of SMI Doppler for the assessment of normal placental microvasculature. Materials and ...

Our objective was to evaluate the development of placental vascularization in normal gestation by using Doppler superb microvascular imaging (SMI). The fetal and maternal parameters of 20 pregnant women without pathology ...

It would be logical to think that single-incision mini-slings (SIMS) should behave like the rest of the tension-free vaginal tape and, therefore, to believe that they present a similar ultrasound appearance, but there ...

We want to describe a model that allows the use of transperineal ultrasound to define the probability of experiencing uterine prolapse (UP). This was a prospective observational study involving 107 patients with UP or ...

The relationship between the anorectal angle (ARA) and the levator ani muscle (LAM) is well known. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate that the ARA changes when LAM avulsion occurs after vaginal delivery. This was a ...

Background: The anorectal angle (ARA) has been assessed with different imaging methods and its measurement has traditionally been based on defecography or magnetic resonance studies. Different ultrasound methodologies ...

Introduction: The effects of levator ani muscle (LAM) avulsion after instrumental delivery on the sexual function of patients are currently unknown. Therefore, the objective of our study was to use a validated questionnaire, ...

Background: Complicated operative vaginal deliveries are associated with high neonatal morbidity and maternal trauma, especially if the procedure is unsuccessful and a cesarean delivery is needed. The decision to perform ...

Background: Recently, a specific methodology has been defined, using transperineal ultrasound, for the differential diagnosis of middle compartment prolapse [uterine prolapse (UP) or cervical elongation (CE) without ...

Superb micro-vascular imaging (SMI) Doppler has proven to be a valid method to assess normal placental micro-vascularization. In this study, we present the application of SMI Doppler to assess placental micro-vascularization ...
