Women were enrolled 5 to 10 years after (85%) involved the anterior wall and 174 (60%) were limited to the first delivery and followed annually. At each research visit, women were anterior wall. Symptoms of POP were reported in 67 (25%) while 223 asked about symptoms associated with prolapse, anal incontinence, and (75%) were asymptomatic. Of the asymptomatic women, 34/223 (15%) defecation using the Epidemiology of Prolapse and Incontinence underwent a concomitant POP repair at the time of index sling surgery; Questionnaire and the short form of the Colorectal-Anal Impact most (189/223 [85%]) did not.

Pelvic examinations were performed annually using the infrequent and occurred in only 3 of 189 subjects (2%); none underwent Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification system. We defined posterior surgery for POP. Most symptomatic women (47/67 [70%]) underwent a prolapse as stage II or greater posterior support (Ap R -1). Women concomitant repair for POP at the index sling surgery, and 20 (30%) did with posterior prolapse were compared with two groups: women with not. Three of the 47 women who had undergone concomitant repair for anterior prolapse but no posterior prolapse (Ap \ -1 and Aa R -1) and symptomatic stage 2 POP underwent repeat POP surgery (two at 36 women with no prolapse (Ap \ -1, Aa \ -1, C \ -1).
