DOI: 10.1007/s10151-018-1801-6
Abstract: Levator spasm is a condition characterized by constant or frequent anal pain that is typically dull in nature. This is due either to paradoxical contraction of the puborectalis at the anorectal junction during defecation, or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2018.10.013
Abstract: Background: The Valsalva maneuver is normally accompanied by relaxation of the levator ani muscle, which stretches around the presenting part, but in some women the maneuver is accompanied by levator ani muscle contraction, which is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2019.03.004
Abstract: BACKGROUND Obstetrical levator ani muscle avulsion is detected after 10%-30% of vaginal deliveries and is associated with pelvic organ prolapse later in life. However, the mechanism by which levator avulsion may contribute to prolapse is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/asj/sjab118
Abstract: BACKGROUND The transconjunctival technique is a preferable and beneficial approach in mild to moderate blepharoptosis repair as without skin incision. However, accurate surgical manipulation of this method is greatly restricted by the poor intraoperative evaluation.… read more here.
