Robotic-assisted laparoscopic mesh sacrocolpopexy
The current ‘gold standard’ surgical repair for apical prolapse
is the abdominal mesh sacrocolpopexy. Use of a robotic-assisted laparoscopic
surgical approach has been demonstrated to be feasible as a minimally invasive
approach and is gaining popularity amongst pelvic floor reconstructive surgeons.
Although outcome data for robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RASC) is only just
emerging, several small series have demonstrated anatomic and functional
outcomes, as well as complication rates, comparable to those reported for open
surgery. The primary advantages thus far for RASC over open surgery include
decreased blood loss and shorter hospital stay
