Overview

Prospective study reveals significant symptom relief and a 90% anatomical cure rate after pelvic organ prolapse surgery in Arabic Muslim women, indicating substantial quality of life improvements.

Key Points

To adapt the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory and Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire for Arabic Muslim women and evaluate functional and anatomical outcomes following surgical repair of pelvic organ prolapse.
Culturally modified and linguistically validated the questionnaires by incorporating a prayer-related item, testing reliability initially in a pilot cohort of 20 patients.
Conducted a prospective study of 78 consecutive women with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse of stage II or greater between September 2004 and February 2007, evaluating anatomical and quality of life outcomes preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively using POP-Q, PFDI, and PFIQ.
The modified prayer item showed good internal consistency (Cronbach alpha = 0.78), and surgical repair achieved an anatomical cure rate of 90% at 6 months.
Patients experienced significant reductions in urinary incontinence, constipation, and splinting to defecate, alleviating the primary baseline quality-of-life impairments of low self-esteem and prayer interference.
