The “all patients”, “abdominal”, and “laparoscopic” subgroup analyses were adjusted for previous cesarean section, previous abdominal surgery, post-operative diagnosis of malignancy, concomitant staging procedure, and concomitant prolapse procedure.
The “vaginal” subgroup analyses were adjusted only for concomitant prolapse procedures; Other variables with a zero count
