The objective cure rate and associated complications were also investigated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The cases of patients who underwent TVM surgery were retrospectively analyzed. QOL was assessed using the Prolapse Quality of Life Questionnaire (P\u2010QOL), and sexual function was evaluated using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) before surgery and 12 months after surgery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 237 patients completed the planned follow\u2010up examinations. All P\u2010QOL domains were significantly improved after surgery. In total, 6 (2.5%), 5 (2.1%), 13 (5.5%), 4 (1.7%) and 1 (0.4%) patients developed recurrent POP, mesh extrusion, <jats:italic>de novo<\/jats:italic> stress urinary incontinence, inguinal pain and <jats:italic>de novo<\/jats:italic> dyspareunia, respectively. Before surgery, 124 of the 237 patients (52.3%) refused to complete the FSFI because they had not engaged in any sexual activity. Among the 113 patients who completed the FSFI, 13 (11.5%) were sexually active. After surgery, 79 patients completed the FSFI, and 14 (17.7%) were sexually active. The overall scores for sexual function and arousal were significantly improved after surgery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients who underwent TVM surgery at our institution exhibited quite low sexual activity levels both before and after the operation. But TVM surgery achieved good QOL outcomes, a high success rate and a low complications rate at 12 months in Japanese POP patients. TVM implantation for POP is safe and effective in sexually inactive patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jog.13654","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,19]],"date-time":"2018-04-19T19:23:32Z","timestamp":1524165812000},"page":"1302-1307","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Sexual activity and quality of life in Japanese pelvic organ prolapse patients after transvaginal mesh surgery"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Manami","family":"Kinjo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Kyorin University School of Medicine  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yasukuni","family":"Yoshimura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Yotsuya Medical Cube  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yasuhide","family":"Kitagawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Komatsu Municipal Hospital  Komatsu Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takatsugu","family":"Okegawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Kyorin University School of Medicine  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kikuo","family":"Nutahara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Kyorin University School of Medicine  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0029-7844(97)00058-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.300.11.1311"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00192-009-0902-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0000000000000286"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-0528.2005.00568.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","first-page":"CD012079","article-title":"Transvaginal mesh or grafts compared with native tissue repair for vaginal prolapse","volume":"9","author":"Maher C","year":"2016","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1442-2042.2010.02469.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9378(96)70243-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00192-005-0003-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1743-6109.2011.02267.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5980\/jpnjurol1989.99.531"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/009262300278597"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00192-004-1225-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00192-011-1600-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_1","first-page":"CD004014","article-title":"Surgery for women with anterior compartment prolapse","volume":"11","author":"Maher C","year":"2016","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.AOG.0000142708.61298.be"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_18_1","unstructured":"DUREX Co.
