Abstract: Both modalities can be used as a method to assess pelvic floor dysfunction. The EDF using 3D anorectal and endovaginal approaches showed advantages in identification of the anal sphincters and pubodefects (partial or total). There was good correlation between the two techniques, and a TLUS rectocele classification based on size that corresponds to the established classification using EDF was established.

“…The structures of the puborectalis muscle can be accurately assessed by three-dimensional perineal ultrasonography, which is convenient and non-invasive. The anatomical structures can be measured in the pubic symphysis, bilateral pubic ramus and medial and posterior edges of the puborectalis muscle [13,14] . Based on many clinical observations and data measurements, this study has shown that the puborectalis thickness at the 6 o'clock position (with patients in a lithotomy position) is an important factor.…”

“…A previous study in 42 non-pregnant women measured the front and back diameter in the sagittal plane, including the area of pelvic diaphragm, front and back diameter of shaft position, and transverse diameter, showing that the detection data of MRI in sagittal plane was higher than that of ultrasonic detection, while in axial position, the related parameters of ultrasound was obviously larger than that of MRI. A potential explanation is that axial reconstruction volume with 2-cm thickness was used to compare and analyze the single axial plane of MRI in ultrasonic testing [ 8 ]. In the present study, we used the ultrasonic testing in the axial plane of the smallest hole instead of reconstructed volume, which lead to different results.…”

“…To the editor, We have read the article written by Tsunoda et al [1], who suggests the use of evacuation proctography to identify the association of enterocele, rectocele, perineal descent, and pelvic organ prolapse in female patients with external rectal prolapse (ERP), discussing the importance of an adequate pelvic floor evaluation in the surgical treatment planning. We have performed echodefecography modified from the technique described by Murad-Regadas et al [2] to evaluate patients with obstructed defecation, which has proven to detect the same anorectal dysfunctions observed in defecography [2,3]. In favor of this experience, our comments highlight the benefits this technique might offer to overcome proctography limitations and some technical tips to improve the diagnostic performance.…”
