0/63 • Data were collected for each patient immediately postoperatively to 24-48 hours postoperatively.
The survey of vaginal \& urinary symptoms used in this study was designed using the PRO-CTCAE (Patient-Reported Outcomes version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) created by the NIH \& NCI 7. The language \& format of the PTO-CTCAE questions have been cognitively tested. Questions on vaginal burning and itching were investigator-developed items using similar language as the PRO-CTCAE, since these adverse events were not contained in the PRO-CTCAE item library.
