Perineal Disease Activity Index, EuroQoL visual analogue score and index measured at pre-operative clinic assessment. Continuous data was compared using t-test. Discrete data compared using Fisher’s Exact test. P < 0.05 was considered significant.

^aP < 0.05. PDAI: Perineal Disease Activity Index; SD: Standard deviation; EQ: EuroQol; VAS: Visual analogue score.
