Atlas of Pelvic Floor Ultrasound

The "Atlas of Pelvic Floor Ultrasound" is a comprehensive textbook that focuses on the ultrasound examination of the pelvic floor. It is regarded as an essential teaching resource for professionals in obstetrics and gynecology, as it emphasizes the importance of pelvic floor examination and advocates for its integration into the training of specialists. The book not only provides a detailed representation of the anatomy and dynamics of the lower urinary tract and pelvic floor but also addresses the examination of disorders such as incontinence and prolapse. It is highlighted that conventional transvaginal ultrasound often leads to distortions of pelvic floor anatomy, complicating the interpretation of prolapse. The atlas illustrates how perineal or translabial ultrasound techniques can provide valuable, artifact-free information about bladder dynamics and the integrity of the pelvic floor. These insights are crucial for improving the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic floor disorders.
