Klinische Relevanz des Ultraschalls in der Urogynäkologie

Der Ultraschall ist aus der Diagnostik der Urogynäkologie mittlerweile nicht mehr wegzudenken. Die 2-D-Perineal- und die Introitussonografie gehören zur Basisdiagnostik. Durch die 3-D-Sonografie werden weitere Informationen zur Verfügung gestellt, die Einblicke in die Ätiologie von Harninkontinenz und Genitaldeszensus geben. Dieser Beitrag soll die Ultraschalldiagnostik in der Urogynäkologie darstellen und den klinischen Bezug aufdecken.

Schlüsselwörter
