Abbreviations: Min, minimum; max, maximum; Preop, preoperative period; Postop, postoperative period; SD, standard deviation; SSFL, sacrospinous ligament fixation; USLS, uterosacral ligament suspension.
Notes: Values expressed as mean ± standard deviation; hemoglobin and hematocrit levels collected 24 hours after surgery through analysis of variance (ANOVA) with parametric repeated measures.
