Kurzfassung

The aim of this study is to evaluate morphology and integrity of levator ani muscle (LAM) with 3D ultrasound early in the postpartum period of women after vaginal delivery and cesarean section
The primary outcome is to compare hiatal dimensions and levator defect following vaginal delivery or cesarean section. For secondary outcomes, we evaluate the role of cesarean section in protecting levator integrity, and the possible involvement of the first stage of labour in LAM changes.
