Long-term Pelvic Floor Symptoms, Recurrence, Satisfaction, and Regret Following Colpocleisis

Conclusions Colpocleisis remains an excellent surgical option for elderly patients. However, regret and dissatisfaction may increase over time as bowel and bladder symptoms may be perceived to be the result of surgery. Our findings highlight the continued need for detailed consent and expectation setting for women considering colpocleisis. There are insufficient studies on long-term outcomes following colpocleisis, which limits physicians' ability to effectively counsel patients. The purpose of this study was to assess pelvic floor symptoms, recurrence, satisfaction, and regret among patients who underwent colpocleisis procedures.
