Design/Methods: Patients were randomized into two groups and all patients underwent transvaginal SSF routinely with polyglactin or with PDS II suture irrespective of whether hysterectomy and/or pelvic-floor reconstruction were combined or not. The patients were followed-up for at least till 2 years postoperatively. Cases were excluded if they were lost to follow-up for 2 years after being operated on. Results: There were 80 patients in group 1 and 82 patients in group 2 with uterovaginal prolapse of POP-Q grade 2 or higher. The majority (70/80 in group 1 and 71/82 in group 2) of the cases underwent vaginal hysterectomy (VH) with pelvic floor...
