Study Finds Decline in Pelvic Floor Integrity Associated with Increased Rectal Intussusception Grades, Independently of Obstetric and Surgical History. The analysis of 238 women revealed that factors like age, vaginal delivery, and pelvic surgery correlated with higher Oxford grades of rectal intussusception. Abnormal levator ani laxity and concurrent pelvic floor issues were independently linked to rising intussusception grades, suggesting a potential association with dyssynergic defecation and highlighting the complex interplay in pelvic floor dysfunction.
