Bildgebung des postoperativen Beckenbodens

CLINICAL/METHODICAL ISSUE: Pelvic organ prolapse is a common condition in women, for which both conservative and surgical interventions are available. Knowledge of the different surgical procedures and the materials used is essential for adequate radiological diagnosis after prolapse surgery in order to differentiate potential complications from normal postoperative changes. STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL METHODS: In the immediate postoperative period, computed tomography (CT) is often the modality of choice for evaluating acute complications such as bleeding or organ injuries. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides excellent soft tissue contrast and is therefore generally preferred for assessing subacute and chronic complications. METHODICAL INNOVATIONS: Innovative techniques such as dynamic MRI protocols can improve the radiological assessment after prolapse surgery by enabling the evaluation of organ mobility. PERFORMANCE: Radiological standard procedures such as computed tomography (CT) and MRI provide detailed and reliable information about the postoperative site and potential complications following prolapse surgery. ACHIEVEMENTS: Radiological imaging plays an important role in the evaluation of patients after prolapse surgery, particularly when complications are suspected. Accurate radiological diagnosis can guide further appropriate therapeutic measures.
