The purpose of the study will be to assess the efficacy and safety of bladder BOTOX® for overactive bladder symptoms, such as urinary urgency and frequency, given at the time of prolapse surgery.
After being informed about the study and the potential risks, women scheduled for prolapse surgery will be screened for bothersome overactive bladder symptoms. Those that qualify and choose to enroll will be randomized to receive either bladder BOTOX® or a placebo at the time of their surgery. Neither the patient nor the investigators will know if the patient receives BOTOX® or a placebo. Subjects will complete questionnaires and bladder diaries both before and after surgery to determine efficacy and patient satisfaction. Potential adverse events, such as urinary tract infections and urinary retention, will be monitored throughout the study.

RECRUITINGChange from baseline to postoperative weeks 6 to 12 in Overactive Bladder bother short form (OAB-q SF) questionnaire looking for a decrease of 10 points, which is the minimally important difference.
The OAB-q SF is a validated 6 item questionnaire that is scored and reported on a 0 to 100 point scale with increasing scores indicating more bother.
Time frame: From baseline (time of enrollment) to 6-12 weeks postoperatively
Change from baseline to postoperative weeks 6 to 12 in the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire short form (PISQ-12).
The PISQ-12 is a 12 item validated questionnaire that evaluates sexual function in women with urinary incontinence and/or pelvic organ prolapse. It is reported on a scale of 0-48, with a higher score indicating worse sexual function.
Time frame: From baseline (time of enrollment) to 6-12 weeks postoperatively
Change from baseline to postoperative weeks 6 to 12 in Patient Global Impression of Severity Scale (PGI-S).
The PGI-S is a 7 point Likert scale, ranging from 1 to 7, with an increasing score indicating greater severity.
Time frame: From baseline (time of enrollment) to 6-12 weeks postoperatively
Patient Global Impression of Improvement Scale (PGI-I) at 6 to 12 weeks postoperatively.
The PGI-I is a 7 point Likert scale, ranging from 1 to 7, with an increasing score indicating less improvement.
Time frame: At 6-12 weeks postoperatively
Urinary tract infection
Rate of urinary tract infections based on clinical suspicion and urine culture results
Time frame: From time of treatment to 12 weeks postoperative
Urinary retention

Rate of urinary retention requiring catheterization, defined as a post-void residual of more than 400mL or 200-400mL with symptoms of incomplete bladder emptying.
Time frame: From 2 weeks postoperatively to 12 weeks postoperatively
