  1. aChanges between pre- and postoperative Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20, n = 41) and A(p) and B(p) were statistically significant at p = <0.001 at the time of patients’ last follow-up
  2. bA 7 point Likert Global Response Scale was used, whereby responses five, six and seven were deemed successful. Numbers 1–4 were judged as failures. The 77 % satisfaction rate includes only the former and not the latter
  3. cEleven prolapse failures: 7 Stage 2 (ICS), 3 Stage 3, and 1 Stage 4
