Excerpt

Translevator hernia is defined as a pelvic floor defect through which the intra-abdominal viscera may protrude; it can occur after pelvic surgeries [1‐3]. With the advent of new imaging modalities and modern computational software, methods from computational biomechanics can be used to develop patient-specific 3D models. Computational models have emerged as a quantitative analysis tool that can provide insights into complex mechanical systems like the levator ani muscle that cannot be directly observed. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide high-resolution detailed anatomy to reconstruct realistic 3D geometric models. …
