Anatomic measures and validated symptom-specific questionnaires were performed pre- and postoperatively. Patient satisfaction was also ascertained. Thirty-five women, who underwent a two-suture high uterosacral suspension, participated. Mean follow-up interval was 23.1±10.1 months. Postoperative point C was -7.8±1.60 (median, -8.0, range, -4.0 to -10.0), and the mean preoperative to postoperative change in point C was 5.9±5.56 cm (median 4.75, range -3.0 to 20.0, p-value
