Inter- and intraobserver reliability for diagnosing levator ani changes on magnetic resonance imaging
K. Lammers, K.B. Kluivers, M.E. Vierhout, M. Prokop & J.J. Fütterer OBJECTIVES: To assess the inter- and intraobserver reliability of the diagnosis of pubovisceral muscle avulsions and measurements of the levator hiatus on magnetic resonance imaging...

A pictorial overview of pubovisceral muscle avulsions on pelvic floor magnetic resonance imaging
K. Lammers, M. Prokop, M.E. Vierhout, K.B. Kluivers & J.J. Fütterer OBJECTIVES: Despite extensive research aimed at clarifying (failing) pelvic organ support, the complete aetiology of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is still not fully understood. During...

Diagnosing pubovisceral avulsions: a systematic review of the clinical relevance of a prevalent anatomical defect
K. Lammers, J.J. Fütterer, M. Prokop, M.E. Vierhout & K.B. Kluivers The aims of this systematic literature review were to assess whether the detection of pubovisceral avulsions using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging or perineal ultrasonography was...
