This workshop focuses on the comprehensive evaluation of the pelvic floor which is crucial for assessing pelvic floor disorders including pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and defecatory dysfunction. A thorough evaluation involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. We will highlight what symptoms and physical examination findings should trigger which pelvic floor testing. We will discuss how to perform and how to interpret: anorectal manometry, integrated total pelvic floor ultrasound (including endoanal), defecography, motility studies and urodynamics. We will then discuss how different diagnostic tests can guide treatment and management of pelvic floor disorders.
Learning Objectives - To better understand what medical history and physical examination findings will guide diagnostic tests of the pelvic floor
- To better understand how to interpret diagnostic tests of the pelvic floor (anorectal manometry, motility studies, defecography, urodynamics, integrated total pelvic floor ultrasound including dynamic pelvic floor ultrasound, endoanal ultrasound and endovaginal ultrasound)
- To better understand how diagnostic tests of the pelvic floor will guide treatment and management of pelvic floor disorders.
