OBJECTIVE: We describe a new parameter based on magnetic resonance 3-dimensional (3D) reconstructions proposed to evaluate levator ani muscle (LAM) laxity in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). STUDY DESIGN: This is an institutional review board-approved, retrospective chart review of 35 women with POP, stages I-IV. The 3D Slicer software package was used to perform 2-dimensional and 3D measurements and the levator ani subtended volume (LASV) was described. Basically, the LASV represents the volume contained by LAM between 2 planes, which coincides with pubococcygeal line and H line. Correlations among measurements, ordinal POP stages, POP Quantification (POPQ) individual measurements, and validated questionnaires were performed. RESULTS: The LASV differentiated major (III and IV) from minor (I and II) POPQ stages, which positively correlated to POP stages and POPQ individual measurements. CONCLUSION: The LASV is a promising parameter to evaluate the LAM laxity. |
