Background:
Sacrocolpopexy is a well-established surgical procedure for treatment of female genital prolapse and complex pelvic floor disorders. The introduction of robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery has further optimised the precision, invasiveness and efficiency of the procedure.
Purpose:
This review analyses the indications, surgical techniques, outcomes and management of complications of robotic sacrocolpopexy.
Results:
Robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy shows comparable anatomical and functional results to laparoscopic and open surgical approaches. Compared to laparotomy, minimally invasive techniques reduce perioperative morbidity and accelerate postoperative recovery.
Conclusion:
Despite promising results, the treatment decision for robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy must be individually tailored to the severity of the prolapse, location of the prolapse, symptoms and availability of alternative treatment options under consideration of economic aspects.
