Abstract Objective: to provide data on the correlation of levator hiatus area measurements in symptomatic POP using 3D / 4D Ultrasound with clinical examination of Gh, Pb and summation (Gh+Pb). Methods: Secondary data analysis of 160 POP patients examined from January 2012 to April 2017 at the Urogynecology Clinic RSCM, Jakarta. Taken data on patient characteristics, maximum 3D / 4D Ultrasound measurement of Levator Hiatus Area, and clinical measurement results using pelvic organ prolapse quantification system (POP-Q) Results: There was a positive correlation between clinical examination and measurement of hiatal area area using ultrasound with r = 0.43 for Gh length, and the medium correlation on the sum of Gh and Pb with r = 0,51. No correlation for Pb length with r = 0.23. The optimal cut to differentiate degrees 2 by 3 is 7.5 cm / 29.7 cm2 and degree 3 by 4 is 8.3 cm / 32.1 cm2. Conclusion: Clinical examination by summing the lengths of Gh and Pb may be consider reflects the examination of the hiatal area by using transperineal ultrasound to see the strain on levator ani called “ballooning” in an area with limited resources. Keywords:  genital hiatus, levator hiatus area, pelvic organ prolapse, perineal body.   Abstrak Tujuan: untuk memberikan data mengenai korelasi pengukuran area hiatus levator pada POP simtomatik mengunakan Ultrasonografi 3D/4D dengan pemeriksaan klinis yaitu panjang Gh, panjang Pb dan penjumlahannya. Metode : Analisa data sekunder sebanyak 160 pasien POP yang diperiksa dari Januari 2012 hingga April 2017 di poliklinik Urogynecology RSCM, Jakarta. Diambil data karakteristik pasien, pengukuran Ultrasonografi 3D/4D maksimal Area Hiatal Levator, dan hasil pengukuran secara klinis dengan menggunakan pelvic organ prolapse quantification system (POP-Q) Hasil : Terdapat korelasi positif antara pemeriksaan klinis dengan pengukuran luas area hiatal menggunakan USG dengan r = 0,43 untuk panjang Gh, dan korelasi pada penjumlahan Gh dan Pb dengan r=0,51 termasuk kategori sedang, sedangkan untuk panjang Pb dengan r = 0,23 tidak didapatkan adanya korelasi. Didapatkan titik potong optimal untuk membedakan derajat 2 dengan derajat 3 adalah 7,5 cm / 29,7 cm2 dan derajat 3 dan derajat 4 adalah 8,3 cm / 32,1 cm2 Kesimpulan : Pemeriksaan klinis dengan menjumlahkan panjang Gh dan panjang Pb dapat dipertimbangkan untuk mencerminkan pemeriksaan area hiatal dengan mengunakan USG 3 / 4 dimensi transperineal pada daerah dengan sarana terbatas untuk melihat regangan pada levator ani atau yang disebut sebagai “ballooning Kata kunci : badan perineum, genital hiatus, hiatal levator ani, prolaps organ panggul.

Aims: This review was done to identify the reported prevalence rate of pelvic organ prolapse among the different world populations. Methods: Systematic review of Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) using the PRISMA checklist; PubMed database was searched on reportingthe prevalence of POP and its management measures in January 2020. Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) like "Pelvic Organ Prolapse"OR "Uterine Prolapse" OR “Vaginal Wall Prolapse” OR "Cystocele"AND "Prevalence [key word/s]" were used. Additional articles were identified through the reference list of the retrieved articles. Results: Out of 91 screened articles, 46 full articles were eligible and only 15 satisfied by selection criteria for the systematic review.The methodological score rated for the quality of studies is 4.5±1.7 (range=2-7) out of 8 points. The mean prevalence of POP diagnosis was 40%; with 42.44% in low and lower-middle-income countries,and 35.56%in upper-middle and high-income countries. Increasing age and parity, body mass indexand fetal macrosomia were found to be the significant risk factors irrespective of the country’s economy. Conclusions:The low and lower-income countries have almost twice the burden of prolapse than the countries of the higher economy. The major risk factors associated with prolapse remain common in all countries irrespective of national income or development.
