The patients were categorized into two groups based on the procedure utilized: RASC or LSC. Demographic characteristics, surgical outcomes, postoperative pain scores, quality of life, complications, and recurrence rates were compared between the two groups.ResultsThe demographic characteristics of the study population demonstrated comparable baseline profiles for the RASC and LSC groups. RASC was associated with shorter surgery duration, lower intraoperative blood loss, shorter operative time for apical prolapse repair, and significantly lower postoperative pain scores at 24, 48, and 72 h postoperatively compared to LSC. Additionally, patients undergoing RASC demonstrated significantly better quality of life across various domains compared to those undergoing LSC.

Pelvic cancers, a history of hysterectomy, and the incapacity to execute Valsalva maneuvers were among the exclusion criteria. The pelvic floor was imaged in three dimensions using a color Doppler ultrasonography equipment (GE, Voluson E8 Edition) both at rest and during Valsalva maneuvers.
