Beschreibung
With an increasing interest in using ultrasound for the assessment of pelvic floor disorders, Pelvic Floor Ultrasound provides the reader with the knowledge and skills to start utilizing ultrasound imaging. Through case studies and common types of patients, this book helps the reader in diagnosing disorders such as voiding dysfunction, pelvic organ prolapse and fecal incontinence, but also to use ultrasound for urodynamics and pelvic floor physiotherapy.
This simple and concise, patient focused book, is written by authors comprising the three surgical disciplines (urology, colorectal surgery and gynaecology) who commonly manage pelvic floor problems and have subspecialty expertise in pelvic floor imaging.
Pelvic Floor Ultrasound will be of particular interest to urologists, gynaecologists, colorectal surgeons and radiologists, and will also benefit a wider readership of physiotherapists and trainees in these disciplines.
There is increasing interest in using ultrasound for assessment of pelvic floor disorders such as voiding dysfunction , pelvic organ prolapse and faecal incontinence. Ultrasound can also be a useful imaging modality for urodynamics and pelvic floor physiotherapy. Whilst ultrasound equipment is widely available around the world many clinicians may not have access to structured training in the technique of pelvic floor imaging and interpretation of images in the context of pelvic floor dysfunction. This book aims to provide the reader with the knowledge and skills to start utilising ultrasound imaging in assessment of pelvic floor disorders. The authors comprise the three surgical disciplines (urology, colorectal surgery and gynaecology) who commonly manage pelvic floor problems and have subspecialty expertise in pelvic floor imaging. They have conducted workshops in Australia, Asia, UK and USA and are advocates for clinican-performed ultrasound.
This book presents case studies of common conditions to illustrate the role of pelvic floor imaging so the readers can easily identify with the type of patients they see There are simple practice points and practical tips in performing pelvic ultrasonography in table formats to assist the reader in providing hands-on management of patients Short video clips are available to the reader to see real-time imaging of different pathologies illustrated in the cases

“The chapters are very concise, very easy to read and supported by good quality imaging and illustrations. An extremely interesting range of clinical applications is covered. This includes a number of individual clinical cases demonstrating very well the diagnostic value of modern technology in this area of medical ultrasound. … I would certainly recommend this, particularly from a practical scanning point of view. I feel it would serve to support trainees through to qualified and experienced ultrasound personnel.” (Bill Smith, RAD Magazine, March, 2016)
