    Abstract

    ![CDATA[Symptoms of bowel dysfunction are frequently elicited in patients presenting to urogynecological services (1). Translabial pelvic floor ultrasound (PFUS) has recently be shown to demonstrate anatomical abnormalities of the posterior compartment, and it is much better tolerated than the most commonly used competing method, defecation proctography (2). This study was designed to determine the prevalence of the commonest anatomical abnormalities of the posterior vaginal compartment in our patients.]]
