I f rst encountered the Integral T eory system in the early 1990’s at the Royal Perth Hospital laboratory in Western Australia where I was working on laparoscopic colposuspension. Even in prototype form, the IVS operation was so simple and ef ective that

Cover Idea by Sam Blight, Rangs Graphics The three arrows represent the three major force vectors featured in the Integral Theory which control the tensioning of ligaments and membranes in the pelvic floor. The enclosing circular brush stroke is inspired by the traditional ‘enso’ character in Zen calligraphy which represents non-duality or wholeness. This is to evoke the integrated approach covered in this book. The butterfly represents the ‘butterfly effect’ concept from Chaos Theory, also known as ‘sensitive dependence on initial conditions’, which describes how small variations in a dynamic non-linear system (such as the pelvic floor) can produce a ‘cascade’ of events leading to a major change in the state of the system. It also represents the freedom which this technology will give to women suffering from the many pelvic floor dysfunctions which can be cured by applying the Integral Theory System.
