Women who were instructed to liberally resume activities 3 months after prolapse surgery and those instructed to restrict postoperative activities reported equally high satisfaction rates, a recent study found. This multicenter, randomized, double-blind clinical trial from September 2014 to December 2015 included 130 women who were screened and 108 who were randomized. Most women underwent a minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy (n=58) followed by a vaginal suspension (n=27) or vaginal closure procedure (n=9). Researchers found:

• Rates of satisfaction were similarly high in the liberal and restricted recommendations groups (98% vs 94%; OR, 0.36).
• Anatomic outcomes did not differ between groups.
• However, fewer pelvic floor symptoms were reported in the liberal group.
