Abstract
Bilateral transection of the LA nerve results in atrophy of denervated LA muscles but not a loss of pelvic support in nulliparous monkeys, suggesting that connective tissue components compensate for weakened pelvic floor muscles. LA denervation may accelerate the onset of vaginal prolapse subsequent to parturition.
