Abstract
Pelvic floor disorders (PFD) represents a significant social and economic problem involving about 25% of women older than 60 years with a 13% lifetime risk of undergoing surgery for PFD. Optimal management is impossible without comprehensive assessment of pelvic floor and multimodal approach. A combination of ultrasonic methods has several advantages (low cost, wide accessibility and availability, office procedure performed by clinicians, intraoperative technique, relatively time consuming, good compliance) and should be performed as first-line assessment in PFD.
