Further study details as provided by Atlantic Health System:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Changes in bowel function [ Time Frame: preoperatively, 6 months, and one year post-surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    -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


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Objective anatomic outcomes [ Time Frame: preoperatively, 6 months, and one year after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    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.
