Postoperative continence significantly impacts patients’ quality of life, making functional outcomes a critical focus in the evolution of surgical techniques.

Preoperative administration of leuprolide acetate helped reduce the risk of postoperative infections and complications. Postoperative care included serial vaginal dilatations to prevent stenosis, resulting in no complications or need for further surgical interventions at 12-month follow-up.
