The organs, fasciae (pink), and muscles are cut in the sagittal plane. For comparison of the fascia geometry refer to [26]. The angle measures the angle between the midpubic line to the bladder neck. Levator plate angle (LPA) is an angle subtended by the initial take-off portion of the iliococcygeus from the coccyx to a horizontal reference line. PCF: pubocervical fascia and RVF: rectovaginal fascia.
