Data collection tools were three questionnaires on Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), Multidimensional Body–Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ), and Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) that were completed before and 6 months after surgery by interviewing individuals. All surgeries were performed by a Fellowship in pelvic floor disorder, and the type of surgery was the same in all patients. Data were analyzed using a dependent t-test.
Results: Data of 119 women with rectocele, second and third-degree cystocele with maximal grade 1 apex prolapse, and candidates for perineorrhaphy and anterior-posterior vaginal repair were evaluated.
