Rheal A. Towner, Amy B. Wisniewski, Dee H. Wu, Samuel B. Van Gordon, more

The Journal of Urology > 2016 > 195 > 3 > 631-638

Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome is a bladder pain disorder associated with voiding symptomatology and other systemic chronic pain disorders. Currently diagnosing interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome is complicated as patients present with a wide range of symptoms, physical examination findings and clinical test responses. One hypothesis is that interstitial cystitis symptoms arise...

Giulio Aniello Santoro, Andrzej Paweł Wieczorek, S. Abbas Shobeiri, Aleksandra Stankiewicz

Pelvic Floor Disorders > Pelvic Floor Imaging > 61-78

High-resolution three-dimensional endovaginal ultrasonography (EVUS) provides a detailed evaluation of the pelvic floor muscles and the levator ani complex, the lower urinary tract, and the anorectal region in planes that cannot be determined by conventional two-dimensional EVUS. Multiplanar reconstruction and rendering techniques allow the investigator to correctly recognize and measure specific...

S. Abbas Shobeiri

Pelvic Floor Disorders > Failure or Recurrence after Surgical Treatment: What to Do When it All Goes Wrong > 695-710

We engage in “repair” of the pelvic floor by surgical means. To accomplish this, we utilize different biomaterials and meshes to reconstitute pelvic floor anatomy. The goal of the current chapter is to introduce the reader to modalities used in imaging surgical complications. Some treatment modalities are also discussed.

State of the Art Pelvic Floor Anatomy

John O. L. DeLancey, S. Abbas Shobeiri

Pelvic Floor Disorders > Pelvic Floor Anatomy > 3-15

We frequently associate pelvic floor injury with parity, ageing, hysterectomy, and chronic straining. Exactly what structures are injured remains the focus of intense research. Therefore, basic understanding of pelvic floor anatomy is essential to effective communication between pelvic floor specialists. The goal of the current chapter is to lay a firm anatomic foundation for interpreting different...

K. van Delft, R. Thakar, S. Abbas Shobeiri, A. H. Sultan

Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology > 43 > 2 > 210 - 217

ObjectivesChildbirth causes overstretching of the levator ani muscle (LAM), predisposing to avulsion. LAM avulsion has not been evaluated early postpartum using endovaginal ultrasound (EVUS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between hematomas and LAM avulsion using EVUS and palpation early and late postpartum. MethodsNulliparous women were studied prospectively at 36 weeks' gestation and within 4 days and 3 months postpartum. Palpation and high‐frequency three‐dimensional EVUS were performed. Two independent investigators reviewed the scans...

Caroline Foust-Wright, Arielle Allen, S. Abbas Shobeiri

International Urogynecology Journal > 2013 > 24 > 5 > 877-880

Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare soft tissue tumor of the pelvis. Notorious for its locally infiltrative behavior, this tumor is identified by pathological appearance. Grossly gelatinous, spindle cells widely separated by collagen fibrils with vascular components can be microscopically visualized. Wide local excision is the treatment of choice. A 19-year-old woman presented with a periurethral mass...

Ghazaleh Rostaminia, S. Abbas Shobeiri, Lieschen H. Quiroz

International Urogynecology Journal > 2013 > 24 > 7 > 1237-1239

Separation of the levator ani muscles from pubic bone is a common major levator trauma that may occur in vaginal delivery and is associated with pelvic floor dysfunctions. We describe a novel ultrasound-guided technique to repair these muscles. A 33-year-old woman presented with a history of difficult vaginal delivery and complaint of numbness and weakness of the vagina. In evaluation, bilateral levator...
