Comments to the Author
Thank you for your appropriate response to most of my previous comments.
I would appreciate it if you could modify just a few points listed below.
Minor comments:
--- Since the sentence of lines 11 and 12 on page 1 have nothing to compare, you should change
“compare” to “evaluate”.
---The method for evaluating “satisfaction” should be stated in “Methods”. Therefore, why not
modify it as follows?
Suggested text;
Follow-up was conducted by telephone or outpatient at 12 months to assess the recurrence
(prolapse or bleeding) rate and patient satisfaction. Patient satisfaction was evaluated on a 5-
point scale of very dissatisfied, somewhat dissatisfied, normal, somewhat satisfied, and very
satisfied. “Satisfaction” was defined as the sum of somewhat satisfied and very satisfied.
