Popis: Nowadays, it is clear that pelvic dysfunction is not associated with a significant risk to life. However, this issue has a significant impact on quality of life (QOL) of patients, leading to its degradation (physical, psychological, sexual, and family well-being). In our study we examined 274 postmenopausal women with pelvic dysfunctions, who were distributed in two groups: in I group included 145 patients (52,9%) who underwent surgical repair of pelvic dysfunction by traditional methods, II group contained 129 patients (47,1%) with the use of synthetic materials. Women were inquired by Quality of Life’s questionnaire «Short Form 36 Health Quality Survey» (SF-36) before and after surgical management. The results of the study showed that the quality of life in women after surgery improved better in group I than in group II.
