Assoziation zwischen der betroffenen Seite der Levatormuskelverletzung und der fetalen Position bei Geburt – eine prospektive Observationsstudie

Abstract

Introduction: Trauma of the levator ani muscle (LAM) is common after vaginal birth and can most reliably be diagnosed by 3-dimensional (3D) translabial ultrasound (TLUS). Multiple risk factors are known in general, but not in association to a specific side of the body.
