Abstract:
The popularity of imaging in pelvic floor medicine continues to increase. Among the various modalities, ultrasound is superior as it is cheap, safe, easily accesible and simple, resulting in high patient compliance. It is the only technique that allows imaging of modern wide-weave polypropylene sling or mesh implants, and imaging of such implants is commonly required due to the popularity of surgical techniques that involve the placement of slings and meshes. This review article will discuss the role of translabial ultrasound in the evaluation of synthetic implants used in the treatment of urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.
