Baessler, K.
- Abstract
The article discusses the importance of considering patients' perspectives when measuring outcome measures for pelvic floor surgery. The author highlights that many women prioritize symptom reduction over anatomical outcomes and that quality of life is a dynamic concept that may change over time. The article suggests using continuous outcome measures and improving symptom assessment tools to better capture patients' experiences. The author also emphasizes the need for objective outcomes while acknowledging the limitations of current measurement systems. The article concludes by calling for a focus on prevention and improving women's quality of life.
