Three-Dimensional Modeling of the Pelvic Floor Support Systems of Subjects with and without Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Figure 2

3D models of the pelvic floor of a subject without POP (top panel) and a patient with POP (bottom panel). Shown are the pelvis (magenta), uterus (sky blue), bladder and urethra (turquoise), cardinal and uterosacral ligaments complex (spring green), levator ani muscle (orange), rectum (red), coccygeus (blue), obturator internus (lime), perineal body (green-yellow), and vagina (dark violet). (a), (b): front view. (c), (d): left view. (e), (f): back view. (g), (h): dorsal lithotomy view. Ut: uterus; B: bladder; Co: coccygeus; LAM: levator ani muscle; R: rectum; OI: obturator internus; Sa: sacrococcyx; PS: pubic symphysis.
