What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Changes in bowel function
Time Frame: preoperatively, 6 months, and one year post-surgery
-Patients completed a validated colo-rectal-anal distress inventory (CARDI-8) at all 3 intervals. Specific complaints of splinting with defecation, excessive straining/pain with bowel movements, incomplete bowel emptying/obstructive symptoms and fecal incontinence were addressed. In addition, patients completed a validated colorectal-anal impact questionnaire (CRAIQ-7) at all 3 intervals. The CRAIQ-7 addresses bowel symptoms and the extend of quality of life impingement
preoperatively, 6 months, and one year post-surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Objective anatomic outcomes
Time Frame: preoperatively, 6 months, and one year after surgery
The pelvic organ prolapse quantification system (POP-Q)- an objective, validated, standardized method of quantifying the degree of pelvic organ prolapse present was used at all visits.
preoperatively, 6 months, and one year after surgery
