Pelvic Floor Ultrasound, 3rd edition (Original PDF from Publisher)

By Hans Peter Dietz

Pelvic Floor Ultrasound is a comprehensive guide to the use of ultrasound in the diagnosis and management of pelvic floor disorders. It offers a clear explanation of ultrasound physics, instrumentation, and best-practice techniques for performing pelvic floor examinations. The book places strong emphasis on advanced imaging methods, particularly 3D and 4D ultrasound, which enable detailed visualization and analysis of pelvic anatomy.

Maternal birth trauma involving the levator ani muscle and anal sphincter is a key focus. With the increasing use of implants in pelvic reconstructive surgery, the book also explains how ultrasound can be used to assess implant position and integrity. Throughout, it emphasizes the integration of ultrasound into routine clinical practice, providing guidance on interpreting findings across a range of pelvic floor conditions to support obstetric audit, urogynaecological surgery, and conservative management, with the goal of improving patient outcomes.
