He is the founding Division andFellowshipdirectorofFemalePelvicMedicine and Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS) at USF. BoardcertifiedinOB/Gyn,andfellowship-trained in FPMRS, he received a BSEE from WPI, an MSEECS from MIT, and his MD from Stanford University. He completed OB/Gyn residency training at Brigham and Womens Hospital/Mass General Hospital, Fellowship training in FPMRS at Loyola University, and Surgical Planning at Harvard. He performs advanced robotic and vagi- nal surgery to correct prolapse, and treats women with all types of pelvic floor dysfunction. He invents and commercializes medical devices for simplifying surgery and enhancing patient safety. He has received 4 patents, with several more pending.Hespentadecadedesigningandbuildingadvancedcomputercircuits,andtools for automating their design and production. This prepared him for a research career in MRIbased3Dpelvicreconstruction.Dr.Hoytehaspublishedalargenumberofpeer- reviewed manuscripts, including the first to demonstrate differences in 3D pelvic floor structure between normal women, and those with prolapse and urinary incontinence. His current research is geared to developing imaging markers to predict the success of different surgical approaches to correct pelvic organ prolapse. xv xvi Editors’Biography Margot Damaser, PhD is Professor of Molecular Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine with appointment as Staff in the Department of Biomedical Engineer- ing and the Glickman Urological and Kidney Institute of the Cleveland Clinic.

FOREWORD This cutting-edge textbook of female pelvic floor biomechanics brings an integrated, multidisciplinaryfocustothestudyoffemalepelvicfloordisorders.Withcontributions from recognized experts in the fields of biomedical, structural, materials, and tissue engineering, as well as anatomy, imaging, visualization, biochemistry, tissue ultrastruc- ture,pelvicsurgery,andradiology,thebookisdesignedtogarnernewinsightsintothe femalepelvicfloor.Whilethisinnovativetextbookencouragesnovelsolutionstofemale pelvic floor dysfunction, it also serves as a primer on pelvic floor biomechanics. Thus,unlikepreviousbooksonthepelvicfloor,thetextcoversawiderangeoftopics vital to understanding the biomechanics of the pelvic floor, including physiology, anatomy, ultrastructure, medicine, engineering analysis, imaging, and visualization. Theimpactofpregnancyandchildbirthonpelvicfloorbiomechanicsiscoveredindetail. Central to such a biomechanical analysis is the need to generate realistic biomechanical models and this, too, is extensively covered. Each chapter builds on the previous ones, suchthatareadercanreadthebookinitsentiretyfromfronttoback,asonemightina course on biomechanics. I am confident that readers of this book will see opportunities to evaluate theories aboutchildbirthinjuryinsilicothus,bypassingtheethicalandlogisticcomplexitiesaris- ing from in vivo attempts to study the effects of labor, and maternal and fetal variables on pelvic floor outcomes in large cohorts of women. In addition, readers will be able to use the concepts presented herein to test patient-specific scenarios for surgical repair of prolapse.

Hippocrates, Laws, BookIV Thisbookonthebiomechanicsofthepelvicfloordisordersthatyouarereadingmarksa milestone in the development of this exciting new field. It signals the transition from opinion to science. The path between these two points of view is not always an easy one to take and depends on developing novel tests that can provide relevant measure- ments so that competing hypotheses can betested. The important new workpresented here on understanding the mechanical nature of the pelvic floor marks a distinct shift from a historically observation-based approach to these problems that have dominated the field during the last century. Early in the 20th century, outstanding observational research was conducted that resulted in two landmark books: Joseph Halban’s and Julius Tandler’s Anatomy and Etiology of Genital Prolapse in Women [1] and R.H. Paramore’s the Statics of the FemalePelvicViscera[2].Thesetwoworkscontain,inthefirstcase,theresultsofmetic- ulousdissectionsanddocumentationoftheanatomyseeninscoresofcadaverswithpro- lapse.Inthesecondcase,Paramoreprovidesathoughtfulanddetailedtheoreticalanalysis ofthebiomechanicalfactorsinvolvedinnormalsupportandaconsiderationofhowthey arealteredinwomenwithprolapse.Unfortunately,theonlytoolsavailablefortheseearly investigators were acute observation, clear thinking, and simple devices for measuring distancesandpressure.Theobservationsmadebythesepioneersareimportant,butsci- entificallytestingtheideasthattheyandsubsequentinvestigatorsproposedwasnotpos- sible at that time.
