Abstract/OtherAbstract:
PURPOSE: To test whether there are statistically significant differences between measurement results on colpocystoproctography in the upright and the supine positions, and to correlate these results with dynamic MRI. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Seven patients with pelvic floor descent had received colpocystoproctography in the upright and supine positions and, additionally, dynamic MRI of the pelvic floor. Bladder neck position, angle of urethral inclination, posterior vesicourethral angle, and vaginal vault position were measured at relaxed pelvic floor and at pelvic strain. Differences between the measurement results of each parameter in the upright and supine position on colpocystoproctography were calculated and correlated with the measurement results from the dynamic MRI. RESULTS: At pelvic strain, bladder neck position, angle of urethral inclination, posterior vesicourethral angle and vaginal vault position measurements showed no statistically significant differences between colpocystoproctography in the upright and supine positions or dynamic MRI. For the bladder neck height at pelvic floor relaxation, significant differences were found between colpocystoproctography in the upright and supine positions, and colpocystoproctography in the upright position versus dynamic MRI. CONCLUSION: At pelvic strain, measurement data from dynamic MRI are not statistically different from data from colpocystoproctography either in supine and upright positions.
