Birth Method & Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

Hello! Wondering if anyone knows if there are any studies evaluating the impact of delivery on pelvic floor dysfunction? If any literature gets really specific I am most curious about having an elective c section for a second baby after having had a spontaneous vaginal birth with the first. My main inquiry is if there is data to support the idea that a. elective c-section is less traumatic for the pelvic floor and results in less long term dysfunction than a spontaneous or induced vaginal birth? People have strong opinions about this but I am curious to know what the literature says. Thank you!
