  • Endosonography of the puborectalis muscle - interobserver comparison of the anal and vaginal ultrasonography
    Sudoł-Szopińska, Iwona ...
    Background. The aim of this study was to compare the anal ultrasonography (AUS) and transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) and also the interobserver variability assessment in the above comparison of ... visualization and dynamic activity assessment of the puborectalis muscle (PR). Patients and methods. AUSand TVUS were performed in 25 women aged 20-72 years (median age 42). All examinations were performed by Bruel and Kjaer system, using a 7.0-MHz rotating endoprobe covered with a water filled hard cone. All women were examined by two operators and AUS and TVUS were performed in each case. Results. In 15 out of 25 women (60 %), a better definition of the PR was achieved in TVUS than in AUS. Both observers agreed with these findings. In the assessment of the PR function a discrepancy between the two methods and the two observers was found: in 4 women by both observers (16%) and in an additional 3 women by observer 1 (28 %). In all these cases, the PR function appeared to be better in TVUS than in AUS. Conclusions. AUS and TVUS enable assessment of the morphology and dynamic activity of the PR. In the majority of cases (60 %), the PR was better visualized by means of TVUS than in AUS. Inthe assessment of the PR function, both methods were inconsistent in 7 cases(28 ž) by the operator 1 and in 4 cases (16 %) by the operator 2. In all these cases, TVUS showed a better PR function than AUS. In 3 cases (12 %), we found the interobserver disagreement in the PR function assessment.
