dc.description.abstractIntroduction and hypothesis Little is known about the impact of native tissue repair techniques on heterosexual intercourse. This study was aimed at investigating the effect of anterior colporrhaphy on women's and their partners' sexual function.Methods Sexually active women with a male partner who were diagnosed with anterior wall prolapse without any incontinence were prospectively recruited from a single academic center. Demographic data were collected and a Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification examination was performed. Before and 3 months post-operatively, women completed two validated questionnaires to assess sexual function, the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Vaginal Symptoms short form (ICIQ-VS SF) 55, and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), and their male partners completed the International Index of Erectile function-5. Pre-and post-operative results were compared using a paired t test.Results This study was conducted in the gynecology department of a university hospital between May 2022 and June 2023, where 50 heterosexual couples were enrolled and underwent isolated anterior repair. The mean age of women and their partners were 44.3 +/- 5.12 and 48.1 +/- 5.81 respectively. Overall, female sexual function improved significantly from pre-to 3 months postoperatively with a decrease in ICIQ-VS SF scores from 13.3 +/- 3.27 to 1.7 +/- 1.1 (p < 0.05) and an increase in FSFI scores from 21.74 +/- 9.37 to 29.28 +/- 9.97 (p < 0.05). The only domain that did not improve was sexual pain. For their male partners, there was a similar significant improvement in sexual function with an increase in scores from 48.71 +/- 8.71 to 60.68 +/- 8.63 (p < 0.05).Conclusions Isolated anterior repair was associated with improved short-term sexual function amongst heterosexual couples.en_US
