Fig 2

Inset orients one to the view into the pelvis looking over the pubic symphysis towards the rectum. Five black dots are shown along the lateral portion of the anterior vaginal wall (AVW) on the patient’s right side illustrating the division of the vagina in 5 equidistant locations between the cervicovaginal junction and the urethrovaginal junction. Vaginal wall length between these two is indicated by the dotted line. The solid line represents an example of the vaginal width measurement. The arrows indicate paravaginal location relative to a reference line along the arcus tendineus fascia pelvis (ATFP) on the sidewall. © DeLancey 2010
