| Abstract: |
Objective: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) affects the quality of life of elderly women. This study aimed to investigate the satisfaction, recovery, and recurrence of symptoms in patients with POP who underwent colpocleisis. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cohort study included elderly women (106 cases with an average age of 74.49±6.07) suffering from stage III or higher POP who underwent partial or total colpocleisis. Pre- and post-operative POP-Q, urinary symptoms, and the level of patient satisfaction were the outcome measures. Results: POP and urinary incontinence significantly decreased after surgery (p<0.001). There was a significant relationship between quality of life (social functioning) and the stage of prolapse after operation (p<0.01). In addition, the patient’s quality of life in the four investigated dimensions, including physical functioning, role limitations, social functioning, and emotional role limitations, was significantly higher than the mean and average (p<0.01). Conclusion: Colpocleisis is a procedure characterized by high subjective and objective success, low regret, and low risk of complications. Therefore, colpocleisis is a minimally invasive and effective treatment method for elderly women. However, further clinical research is needed to evaluate the efficacy of this procedure.
