Introduction and hypothesis The objective was to identify the best parameter (pubis–cervix measurement, pubis–uterine fundus measurement or pubis–pouch of Douglas measurement) on transperineal ultrasound, based on the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Objective: The objective of this meta-analysis was to establish the rates of levator ani muscle (LAM) avulsion in patients after forceps delivery (FD) and vacuum delivery (VD) as assessed by 3D/4D transperineal ultrasound. ...

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: To determine whether intrapartum translabial ultrasound (ITU) is useful for the prediction of levator ani muscle (LAM) avulsions in instrumental deliveries (vacuum and forceps). Materials and methods: ...
