This is a single center, double-blind, randomized controlled trial evaluating the change in
sexual function in women undergoing vaginal repair for pelvic organ prolapse. Participants
will be sexually active women who agree to randomization to having perineorrhaphy added to or
excluded from their surgical repair. We hypothesize that sexual function will improve more
significantly in women undergoing vaginal repair with perineorrhaphy.


Inclusion Criteria:

- sexually active

- genital hiatus measured between 4 and 6 centimeters

- desires sexual function

- undergoing vaginal repair with native tissues

- agrees to use vaginal estrogen for 12 months after surgery

Exclusion Criteria:

- genital hiatus > 6 cm

- planned obliterative procedure

- perineal body length <0.5cm

- disrupted external anal sphincter
