After discharge, follow\u2010up visits were made 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. The Ditrovie scale was used to measure quality of life (QoL), and continence and performance of the physiotherapy exercises were assessed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Mean QoL score was 36.9 (range 16.0\u201349.0) before surgery. Overall, 84 women were followed up for 1 year. Their mean QoL score had improved significantly to 18.5 (range 10.0\u201347.0; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). Between hospital discharge and 1 year, the number of women with a closed fistula increased from 48 (57.1%) to 53 (63.1%) and the number with urinary stress incontinence reduced from 11 (13.1%) to 9 (10.7%).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Results obtained after surgery and physiotherapy were maintained at 1 year, and QoL had improved significantly.
