Modelling of Soft Connective Tissues to Investigate Female Pelvic Floor Dysfunctions

<div>Sagittal section of the 3D finite element mesh showing (a) pubocervical fascia (PCF) and rectovaginal fascia (RVF), ligaments and perineal structures, and (b) FE mesh loaded with intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). Endopelvic fascia is separated with different amount of elastin and collagen constituents, blue (elastin rich) and pink (collagen rich).</div>
