Nine (56.2%) women were posthysterectomy. The median interval from surgery to ultrasound examination was 6.5 (range, 2\u201319) months. Most patients did not have symptoms of prolapse. The median Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">POPDI<\/jats:styled-content>\u20106) score was 37.5 (range, 0\u201375) and the median postoperative clinical <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">POP<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010Q stage was 1 (range, 0\u20132). Ultrasound demonstrated clear visualization in all patients. Ten had avulsion defects (six were bilateral). Ultrasound estimated greater prolapse descent for all compartments when compared with the clinical examination. However, this difference was significant for anterior and posterior descent, but not for apical descent. In two women urethral diverticulum was detected on ultrasound; it was neither symptomatic nor clinically apparent.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">4D<\/jats:styled-content> transperineal ultrasound seems to be a potentially effective tool for the evaluation of vaginal anatomic and functional changes following colpocleisis surgery. Future investigation of the association between ultrasound findings and patients' subjective symptoms in a larger cohort is warranted. Copyright \u00a9 2012 ISUOG.
