Results: According to paired T test there is a significant difference between mean PHQ9 score before (6.69±3.80) and 6 months after surgery (1.96±1.75)(p=0.001). Total PFIQ score decreased from 17.15±9.39 to 2.88±4.01 with 14.27±5.38 reduction. PFDI score before surgery were 29.85±15.73 and decreased to 11.50±10.99, with a reduction of 18.35±4.74.
