Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Urogynecology
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) significantly impacts women's quality of life.
  • Surgical intervention is a common treatment for POP.
  • The da Vinci robotic system offers advanced capabilities for complex pelvic procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the technical aspects of robotic-assisted POP surgery.
  • To report short-term clinical outcomes of this surgical approach.
  • To assess the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of the da Vinci system in POP treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective data collection from 18 consecutive patients undergoing robotic POP surgery over one year.
  • Procedures included colpohysteropexy, mesh rectopexy, and sutured rectopexy with sigmoid resection.

  • Analysis of operative times, setup times, complications, hospital stay, and patient-reported outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • 95% of procedures were successfully completed robotically.
    • Mean operative time was 172 minutes, with setup time decreasing with experience.
    • No mortality or robot-specific morbidity was observed; mean hospital stay was 7 days.
    • At 6 months, all patients were free of prolapse and reported satisfaction with anatomical and functional results.

    Conclusions:

    • The da Vinci robotic system is a feasible surgical option for pelvic organ prolapse.
    • Robotic-assisted surgery for POP is safe, with excellent short-term efficacy.
    • Patient satisfaction with both anatomical and functional outcomes is high.
