Murad-Regadas,Sthela Maria; Bezerra,Leonardo Robson Pinheiro Sobreira; Silveira,Claudio Regis Sampaio; Pereira,Jacyara de Jesus RosaPURPOSE: To determine anatomical and functional pelvic floor measurements performed with three-dimensional (3-D) endovaginal ultrasonography in asymptomatic nulliparous women without dysfunctions detected in previous dynamic 3-D anorectal ultrasonography (echo defecography) and to demonstrate the interobserver reliability of these measurements. METHODS: Asymptomatic nulliparous volunteers were submitted to echo...
