Abstract
Estimated levator ani subtended volume may predict surgical failure for laparoscopic bilateral uterosacral ligament suspension. Patients with a calculated estimated levator ani subtended volume above 38.5 on a preoperative pelvic magnetic resonance imaging were associated with an increased risk for surgical failure by 1 year, regardless of age, body mass index, stage, or parity. Future investigation that will include repeatability, reliability analysis, and a prospective study is warranted.
