Postoperative Activity Instructions Following Urogynecologic Surgery
The Postoperative Activity Instructions Following Urogynecologic Surgery Clinical Consensus Statement was generated by a group of multidisciplinary national and international experts from the American Urogynecologic Society. The objective of this document is to present evidence-supported statements related to postoperative activity after urogynecologic and reconstructive pelvic surgeries. The writing group generated a list of topic questions seeking to evaluate postoperative activity recommendations in women undergoing urogynecologic surgery. A literature search was completed with the aid of a librarian, and the 59 selected articles were used to create evidence-based topic statements. The writing group then utilized a modified Delphi process to approve the 26 final statements. Of the 26 topic statements, 26 reached consensus and none were omitted.
