note = "Funding Information: The visceral and pelvic fascia, along with fascial condensations known as ligaments, also provides support for the pelvic floor and organs. The endopelvic fascia is a thin delicate layer that extends from the abdomen, draping over the pelvic floor. In the middle compartment, the uterus and vagina receive support from the endopelvic fascia, uterosacral ligament, and paracolpium, preventing prolapse. Anteriorly the urinary bladder and uterine cervix are partly supported by the pubocervical fascia, preventing cystoceles and urinary incontinence. In the posterior compartment, the rectum receives support from the rectovaginal fascia and posterior vaginal wall, which when compromised may lead to an enterocele or rectocele. ",
