Aim: To adapt and determine the validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of the Australian Pelvic Floor Questionnaire (APFQ).
Methods: The original APFQ was translated and validated to obtain an Indonesian, physician-administered version on 41 urogynecology patients and 41 age-matched women without pelvic floor dysfunction.
Results: Missing answers never exceeded 2%.
Performing classical vaginal hysterectomy on patients with pelvic organ prolapse and cervical elongation can be challenging. Despite the difficulties and risks, it remains the safest and the best available option.

Treatment of this condition consists of non-surgical and surgical management. After nonsurgical Frank method, neovaginal canal may be formed but sometimes the vaginal length may not be adequate to facilitate normal sexual intercourse.

This study aims to appraise the ability of transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) compared with 3D-EAUS as the gold standard to identify anal sphincter defects after primary repair of OASIS.
Methods: A systematic search of major databases to identify diagnostic accuracy of 3D-TPUS in evaluating anal sphincter defects.
