Introduction Pelvic floor dysfunction is a global term used to describe conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse, and faecal or urinary incontinence. The Pelvic Floor Centre is a multi-disciplinary clinic for pelvic floor dysfunction. The aim of this study was to assess patient satisfaction following joint colorectal-urogynaecology surgery in the Pelvic Floor Centre. Methods All patients who underwent a joint procedure in the Pelvic Floor Centre from 1st October 2015 to 31st October 2016 were contacted via telephone. Patient satisfaction was assessed using the Surgical Satisfaction Questionnaire (SSQ-8). Results Fifteen patients underwent joint surgeries between 1st October 2015 and 31st October 2016. All patients consented to the questionnaire. Patients underwent a variety of combined procedures including vaginal repairs, anal sphincter repairs, mid-urethral slings, perineal injections, and stapled trans-rectal resection of the rectum. Discussion Thirteen (86.7%) patients were satisfied with their surgery, and would recommend it to other patients with a similar condition. All patients were satisfied that their pain was well controlled after discharge. Eleven (73.3%) patients were satisfied with the time taken to return to daily activities, work, and their usual exercise routine. There is a high level of satisfaction amongst patients undergoing joint colorectal-urogynaecology surgery at the Pelvic Floor Centre. Further investigation into patient satisfaction with the clinic itself and international comparison is warranted.
引言 盆底功能障碍是一个通用术语，用于描述诸如盆腔器官脱垂、粪便或尿失禁等病症。盆底中心是一家针对盆底功能障碍的多学科诊所。本研究的目的是评估盆底中心结直肠-泌尿妇科联合手术后的患者满意度。方法 对2015年10月1日至2016年10月31日在盆底中心接受联合手术的所有患者进行电话随访。使用手术满意度问卷（SSQ-8）评估患者满意度。结果 2015年10月1日至2016年10月31日期间，15例患者接受了联合手术。所有患者均同意填写问卷。患者接受了多种联合手术，包括阴道修复、肛门括约肌修复、尿道中段吊带术、会阴注射以及直肠吻合器经直肠切除术。讨论 13例（86.7%）患者对手术满意，并会向其他患有类似病症的患者推荐。所有患者均对出院后疼痛得到良好控制感到满意。11例（73.3%）患者对恢复日常活动、工作及日常锻炼所需时间感到满意。盆底中心接受结直肠-泌尿妇科联合手术的患者满意度较高。有必要进一步调查患者对诊所本身的满意度并进行国际比较。
