Abstract

The complex levator ani anatomy is perhaps best visualized with three-dimensional endovaginal ultrasonography. In this chapter we will address the occurrence of levator ani muscle injury during childbirth, and investigate the role of pelvic ultrasound to identify and quantify the amount of birth-related levator ani muscle trauma.
