Pre- and postoperative (12-month follow-up) pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q).

POP-Q variables	Preoperative assessment	Postoperative assessment	p value
Aa	2.5 ± 2	−2 ± 0.5	<0.001
Ba	2.5 ± 3	−2.5 ± 0.5	<0.001
Ap	1 ± 3	−2.5 ± 0.5	<0.001
Bp	2.5 ± 4	−2.5 ± 0.5	<0.001
C	3.2 ± 1.9	−2.9 ± 2.1	<0.001
TVL	6 ± 0.5	6 ± 1	NS

Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD); Aa: anterior vaginal wall, 3 cm proximal to the hymen; Ba: most distal position of the remaining upper anterior vaginal wall; Ap: posterior vaginal wall, 3 cm proximal to the hymen; Bp: most distal position of the remaining upper posterior vaginal wall; TVL: total vaginal length.
