The pelvic floor forms the supportive and caudal border of the human?s abdominopelvic cavity. A detailed anatomical understanding of its complex architecture is mandatory for the pelvic floor surgeon (general surgeon, gynaecologist and urologist) and for fundamental mechanisms of anorectal as well as urogenital dysfunctions as different anatomical systems join here. The diagnosis and treatment of complex anorectal disorders, however, require a multidisciplinary approach.
