   Nyckelord :cesarean;

   Sammanfattning : Objective: To study pelvic floor disorders in relation to mode of delivery using clinical and epidemiological methods; to compare the prevalence and risk of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in healthy primiparous women in relation to vaginal (VD) or elective cesarean (CD) delivery nine months after delivery; to estimate the effect of delivery on urinary and anal incontinence 10 years after first childbirth in relation to mode of delivery and to assess the influence of parity and obstetrical events; to estimate the risks of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery related to delivery mode at long-term follow-up; and to evaluate the influence of age at first childbirth on the risks of surgically managed SUI and POP.
