MRI and CT exquisitely depict the anatomy of the female pelvis and offer fascinating diagnostic possibilities in women with pelvic disorders. This volume provides a comprehensive account of the use of these cross-sectional imaging techniques to identify and characterize developmental anomalies and acquired diseases of the female genital tract. Both benign and malignant diseases are considered in depth, and detailed attention is also paid to normal anatomical findings and variants. Further individual chapters focus on the patient with pelvic pain and the use of MRI for pelvimetry during pregnancy and the evaluation of fertility. Throughout, emphasis is placed on the most recent diagnostic and technical advances, and the text is complemented by many detailed and informative illustrations. All of the authors are acknowledged experts in diagnostic imaging of the female pelvis, and the volume will prove an invaluable aid to everyone with an interest in this field.

Quatrième de couverture : "Cet ouvrage traite de toute la pathologie pelvienne que l’IRM permet d’explorer de nos jours. C’est le premier livre qui couvre l’ensemble de cette pathologie qu’elle soit féminine ou masculine. Après un rappel anatomique, il aborde successivement les trois grands appareils qui peuvent être atteints dans cette région chez l’homme et/ou la femme : la pathologie digestive, la pathologie urinaire et génitale, et la pathologie gynécologique. L’exploration de la région pelvienne se prête bien à cette imagerie IRM qui, en complément de l’échographie endopelvienne, est devenue en quelques années la technique d'imagerie de référence, dans la mesure où elle répond aux contraintes de cette région anatomique. L’IRM fournit en effet de très bons contrastes tissulaires spontanés et évalue très bien l’anatomie complexe de cette région profonde qu’il est nécessaire d’explorer dans les trois dimensions de l’espace et/ou en mode dynamique. L’ouvrage s’attache aussi bien à traiter de la pathologie inflammatoire ou cancéreuse, que des atteintes fonctionnelles. Le Pr. Frank Boudghène a su faire appel pour sa rédaction aux meilleurs spécialistes français de l’IRM pelvienne : c’est pourquoi cet ouvrage constitue un guide précieux d’aide à la prise en charge des pathologies morphologiques et fonctionnelles du pelvis, à l’heure où le champ de la pelvi-périnéologie est en pleine évolution. S’il est destiné en premier lieu aux radiologues, il servira de document de travail à tous ceux qui sont concernés par la pathologie pelvienne et qui ont encore du mal à se familiariser avec l’IRM : cancérologues, chirurgiens viscéraux, gastro-entérologues, urologues, gynécologues, chirurgiens gynécologiques, sages-femmes, neurologues, kinésithérapeutes, médecins généralistes, et enfin à tous ceux qui seront amenés à demander un examen d’IRM chez les patients qu’ils prennent en charge."

This book offers a concise and easy-to-understand overview of facts and concepts in pelvic anatomy. Laparoscopy provides good vision in a limited field, which means that surgeons have to rely on their anatomical knowledge of what structures lie in the vicinity and which structures need to be preserved. Focusing on surgical anatomy, the book helps laparoscopic surgeons better understand the female pelvic structures so improve their surgical skills.

This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse, focusing especially on issues that continue to arouse controversy. In the first section, leading experts present detailed information on the surgical anatomy, pathophysiology, and epidemiology of prolapse and also the impact of concomitant functional disorders. The second section focuses on diagnostic work-up and the third is dedicated to the various treatment options aimed at resolution of the condition. The closing chapters discuss outcome measures and analyze the effects of prolapse surgery on urinary, bowel, and sexual symptoms. In 1966 Richard TeLinde stated that, “Every honest surgeon of extensive and long experience will have to admit that he is not entirely and absolutely satisfied with his long-term results of all his operations for prolapse and allied conditions.” Although many uncertainties in the field have since been resolved, some major issues still require clarification. Often it can be difficult to find the right balance between treatment effectiveness in the long term and risk reduction, including with respect to complications. This book will help trainees and less experienced surgeons to make appropriate treatment choices and achieve optimal outcomes.

This book offers a critical review of the pelvic sciences—past, present and future—from an anatomical and physiological perspective and is intended for researchers, medical practitioners and paramedical therapists in the fields of urology, gynecology and obstetrics, proctology, physiotherapy, as well as for patients.   The book starts with a “construction plan” of the pelvis and shows its structural consequences. The historical background of pelvic studies proceeds from medieval and early Italian models to the definitive understanding of the pelvic anatomy in the Seventeenth century. During these eras of pelvic research, concepts and approaches developed that are illustrated with examples from comparative anatomy and from mutations, also with regard to the biomechanics of pelvic structures. Perceptions of the pelvis as an important element in sexual arousal and mating conduct are discussed, as well as attitudes to circumcision, castration and other mutilations, in its anthropological, social context.   The anatomy and physiology of the pelvic wall and its organs as well as the development of these pelvic organs are covered as a prerequisite to understanding, for example, the spread of pelvic carcinoma and male and female bladder muscle function. Connective pelvic tissue is examined in its reinforcing capacity for pelvic structures, but also as a “hiding place” for infections. Innervations and reflexes relayed through the pelvic nerves are discussed in order to explain incontinence, sphincter function and the control of smooth and striated muscles in the pelvis.   Catheters and drugs acting on pelvic function are described, and a critical review of alternative clinical methods for treating pelvic dysfunctions is provided.
