Intraabdominal pressure acts on the pelvic floor through an aperture surrounded by bony and muscular structures of the pelvis. A small pilot study showed the area of the anterior portion of this plane is larger in pelvic organ prolapse. We hypothesize that there is a relationship between prolapse and anterior (APA) and posterior (PPA) pelvic cross-sectional area in a larger, more diverse population.
