Reply to the IUGA Obstetric Pelvic Floor Trauma Special Interest Group ’s response to Gachon B et al/EBCOG re: Should we advise women that pre-labor caesarean section prevents pelvic floor dysfunction?

We read with great interest the IUGA obstetric pelvic floor trauma interest group ’s response to our recent paper “Should we advise women that pre-labor caesarean section prevents pelvic floor dysfunction?” [1]. In this opinion paper we analyzed the causality between vaginal delivery and pelvic floor dysfunction to devise a policy of advising pre-labor caesareans section. I n their response, our colleagues agreed with the necessity to be careful before promoting caesarean section for all women but also highlighted that they think that women with higher risk should be informed about the protective effect of pre-labor cesarean section.
