Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction After Colpocleisis for Pelvic Organ Prolapse

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term success rate of the colpocleisis procedure and its effect on quality of life in women who have this surgery. We want to see if women who have this surgery have problems with recurrent pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, or bowel problems after the surgery. We also want to see how the surgery affects women's sexuality.
