Quality of life and surgical satisfaction after vaginal reconstructive vs obliterative surgery for the treatment of advanced pelvic organ prolapse.

Objective: We sought to compare quality of life and patient satisfaction after obliterative vs reconstructive surgery.

Study Design: A retrospective cohort study of women who met the following inclusion criteria: age 65 years or older, leading edge of prolapse 4 cm or greater beyond the hymen, and vaginal reconstructive or obliterative surgery. Preoperative responses to the Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) were collected retrospectively.
