Operative characteristics of patients who underwent perineal stapled prolapse resection or the Altemeier procedure
| Variable | Group; mean ± SD | p value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| PSPR n = 25 | Altemeier n = 19 | ||
| Total operating room time, min | 75 ± 24 | 114 ± 29 | < 0.001 |
| Total operative time, min | 30 ± 14 | 67 ± 24 | < 0.001 |
| Length of prolapse, cm | 8.9 ± 6.1 | 9.5 ± 4.5 | 0.68 |
PSPR = perineal stapled prolapse resection; SD = standard deviation.
