Multidisciplinary management of pelvic floor disorders

Abstract

Pelvic floor disorders are being diagnosed in women with increasing frequency. Disorders of the different compartments of the pelvic floor (anterior, middle, and posterior) often occur simultaneously. A multidisciplinary approach is often needed to pursue the proper workup and reach the optimal treatment regimen. Pelvic floor centers are emerging as a model in which to treat these complex patients. Lastly, we will highlight case examples of how a pelvic floor center can be beneficial to the workup and management of these patients.
