Professor Petros uses the Integral Theory framework to give the anatomical bases for many pelvic floor dysfunctions, a simple diagnostic system to diagnose which structures are causing the problem, simulated operations to check that diagnosis and a new approach to non-surgical therapy.

The accompanying DVD is used to more fully explain how lax suspensory ligaments may cause multiple pelvic floor dysfunctions, how to diagnose which structures are causing the problem, and how to perform ‘simulated’ or ‘virtual’ operations. New insights into the pathogenesis of pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain, vulvodynia, and Interstitial Cystitis are presented. The tensioned minisling as used for cystocoele, uterine prolapse, rectocoele stress incontinence and other symptoms is described in the book and demonstrated in the DVD.
