Brief summary
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of using a Finite Element model of pelvic organs by evaluating the concordance of pelvic organ mobility measurements performed by this mechanical model compared to the observations on the post-operative pelvic MRI in patients undergoing a sacrospinofixation surgery
Interventions
6 months after surgery, a Dynamic Pelvic Floor MRI is performed
