Abstract
Pelvic floor disorders are being diagnosed in women with increasing frequency. Disorders of the different compartments of the pelvic floor (anterior, middle, and posterior) often occur simultaneously. A multidisciplinary approach is often needed to pursue the proper workup and reach the optimal treatment regimen. Pelvic floor centers are emerging as a model in which to treat these complex patients. Lastly, we will highlight case examples of how a pelvic floor center can be beneficial to the workup and management of these patients.
