Anal profilometry correlated to colpo-cysto-urethrography in female urinary bladder suspension defects.
Of 40 women with urinary bladder suspension defects verified by CCU were investigated with anal profilometry, 25 had anterior suspension defects had 15 posterior suspension defects. The profiles were superimposed to demonstrate morphological changes. The slopes of the profiles were correlated to slopes of profiles from a normal material. There was significant difference between normal and pathological slopes. The morphological changes of the profiles in relation to the anatomy of the pelvic floor is discussed.
