Adverse events after surgery for #pelvicfloordisorders such as incontinence, constipation, nocturia, and lack of improvement in sexual function are perceived as very severe, rating in severity similar to intensive care unit admission and death #PASeoTrial pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30612960/

An electronic bowel diary correlated well with paper diary and was considered easy to use, preferred to paper diaries, and had high rates of confirmed real‐time diary completion that obviated staff data entry. #NOTABLEtrial #PFDNresearch pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32960998/
