Minimally invasive ventral mesh rectopexy (VMR) is effective for rectal prolapse, showing low recurrence and complication rates. Both laparoscopic and robotic approaches offer good outcomes for elderly women.

Area of Science:

  • Colorectal surgery
  • Surgical innovation
  • Pelvic floor disorders

Background:

  • Rectal prolapse significantly impacts quality of life, especially in elderly women.
  • Minimally invasive ventral mesh rectopexy (VMR) offers anatomical correction and improved outcomes.
  • This study compares laparoscopic VMR (LVMR) and robotic VMR (RVMR).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate operative details, complications, and recurrence rates of LVMR and RVMR.
  • To compare the safety and efficacy of robotic versus laparoscopic VMR.
  • To assess long-term functional outcomes after VMR for rectal prolapse.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 88 patients undergoing VMR (2019-2024).
  • Comparison of LVMR (19 patients) and RVMR (69 patients) groups.

  • Data collected on demographics, intraoperative details, complications (Clavien-Dindo), recurrence, and functional outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant difference in length of stay or operative time between LVMR and RVMR.
    • Zero conversion rate from minimally invasive to open surgery.
    • Low complication rate; six patients (CD IIIb) required reoperation. One recurrence in the RVMR group after one year.

    Conclusions:

    • Minimally invasive VMR is a safe and effective long-term treatment for rectal prolapse.
    • LVMR and RVMR demonstrate comparable outcomes.
    • VMR leads to significant improvement in functional outcomes with low recurrence rates.
