Introduction: Trauma of the levator ani muscle (LAM) is common after vaginal birth and can most reliably be diagnosed by 3-dimensional (3D) translabial ultrasound (TLUS). Multiple risk factors are known in general, but not in association to a specific side of the body. Therefore, our aim was to evaluate different impact factors which cause LAM trauma on either side of the body or bilateral by focusing on the fetal position at birth. Material and methods: As part of a prospective cohort study between 3/2017 and 4/2019, we analyzed vaginal births of nulliparous women with singletons in vertex presentation≥36+0 gestational weeks. We evaluated their pelvic floor for hematomas, partial and complete LAM avulsions by 3D TLUS 2-4 days postpartum...
