Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20)
The change in the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20) between arms from baseline to 12 weeks post-surgery. Participants will be asked to rate how much symptoms bother them from 0 (not at all) to 4 (quite a bit)
Change in the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)
The change in the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) between arms from baseline to 12 weeks post-surgery. Participants will be asked to rate their overall health. Scores can range from 0 to 100
Change in the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)
The change in the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) between arms from baseline to 12 weeks post-surgery. Participants will be asked to rate how frequently problems have bothered them from 0 (not at all) to 4 (nearly every day)
Change in the Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I)
The change in the Patient Global Impressions of Improvement (PGI-I) between arms from baseline to 12 weeks post-surgery. Participants will be asked to rate their symptoms from 1 (very much better) to 7 (very much worse)
