Download or read book Pelvic Floor Ultrasound written by Lewis Chan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-06 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is increasing interest in using ultrasound for assessment of pelvic floor disorders such as voiding dysfunction , pelvic organ prolapse and faecal incontinence. Ultrasound can also be a useful imaging modality for urodynamics and pelvic floor physiotherapy. Whilst ultrasound equipment is widely available around the world many clinicians may not have access to structured training in the technique of pelvic floor imaging and interpretation of images in the context of pelvic floor dysfunction. This book aims to provide the reader with the knowledge and skills to start utilising ultrasound imaging in assessment of pelvic floor disorders. The authors comprise the three surgical disciplines (urology, colorectal surgery and gynaecology) who commonly manage pelvic floor problems and have subspecialty expertise in pelvic floor imaging. They have conducted workshops in Australia, Asia, UK and USA and are advocates for clinican-performed ultrasound.

Download or read book Handbook of Pelvic Floor Ultrasound written by Stefano Manodoro and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent evolution brought ultrasound imaging widely adopted by pelvic floor specialists. For gynecologists, this step has been a natural evolution. In fact, pelvic floor medicine is the last field of gynecology in which ultrasound has reached a pivotal role in the diagnostic process. But when we consider the pelvic floor as a transversal field of medicine we must consider that ultrasound is the linking bridge between different specialties. In fact, ultrasound is a cohesive tool shared by gynecologists, urologists, colorectal surgeons, and radiologists. Most of them are confident with this technique and are familiar with the technology even though with different applications. Most of the time ultrasound can be performed by the same specialist that collected the medical history and has performed the physical evaluation. This aspect allows ultrasound to express the best of itself since the clinician perfectly knows what he/she requires to obtain by the imaging. In this sense, ultrasound fills a gap in the steps of the diagnostic workup, melting physical examination, and imaging all in one, making them much more than complementary. In the same manner, ideally, the same clinician who fulfilled the diagnostic path may be the main character involved in the surgical process which aims to solve the specific pelvic floor dysfunction. Nevertheless, pelvic floor ultrasound partially departs from the applications clinicians are used to for their specialty. As gynecologists in fact we recognize differences between ultrasound pelvic studies for uterine or adnexal masses and pelvic floor studies. The same is for other specialties. For this reason, clinicians involved in pelvic floor units need education in pelvic floor ultrasound in order to be skilled for specific applications. With this vision we tried our best to offer pelvic floor specialists a handbook with the basic ultrasound knowledge they need to own in order to complete a pelvic floor diagnostic step in current clinical practice, providing a rich iconography of normal and pathological imaging. The cut of the work is intentionally concise but complete with practical tips for a correct ultrasound evaluation of the pelvic floor. The handbook is suitable both as a first approach to pelvic floor ultrasound and also for expert practitioners who wish to improve their skills.

Download or read book The Female Pelvic Floor written by Peter E. Papa Petros and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The initial objective of this work was to reduce stress incontinence surgery from a major surgical procedure (requiring up to ten days in hospital) to a minor day-care operation. From the beginning it was clear that the two major impediments to achieving this goal were post operative pain and urinary retention. Addressing these problems became a long and winding road and culminated in the Integral Theory. The IVS 'tension-free' tape operation was inspired by Dr Robert Zacharin's anatomical studies. Though Zacharin suggested that the ligaments and muscles around the urethra were important for urinary continence control, he did not say how. The observation that implanted foreign materials created scar tissue led to the hypothesis that a plastic tape inserted in the position of the pubourethrallig ament, would leave behind sufficient scar tissue to reinforce that ligament, which would then anchor the muscles for urethral closure. In September 1986, two prototype Intravaginal Sling operations were per formed. A Mersilene tape was inserted with neither tension nor elevation, in the position of the pubourethral ligament. Restoration of continence was immediate and both patients were discharged on the day following surgery without require ment for catheterization. There was minimal pain, and immediate restoration of continence. After six weeks the tapes were removed. Both patients were still conti nent at last review 10 years later. The results appeared to confirm the importance of a midurethral anchoring point.
