Perioperative Opioid Use in Urogynecologic Mesh Removal.

Importance: Forty percent of patients with urogynecologic mesh pain complications are taking narcotics.

Objectives: We aimed to compare comorbidities and pain scores between patients with and without narcotic use and assess postoperative narcotic use rates.

Study Design: This was a secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study of patients undergoing urogynecologic mesh removal.

Impact of Age on Perioperative Complications After Obliterative Vaginal Surgery.

Importance: Obliterative vaginal surgery is often reserved for older patients with prolapse, but the effect of age as an independent risk factor for perioperative complications in this cohort is poorly understood.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the association between age and perioperative complications in women undergoing obliterative vaginal surgery.

Study Design: This was a retrospective cohort study that included 371 patients undergoing colpocleisis between 2010 and 2013 at a single academic medical center.

Surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence: comparison of robotic-assisted Burch urethropexy with retropubic midurethral sling.

Synthetic retropubic midurethral slings (RMUS) and robotic-assisted Burch urethropexies (RA-Burch) are common surgical treatment options for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Few data exist comparing the success of these two retropubic surgeries. This retrospective cohort study of RA-Burch and RMUS procedures compared the proportion of patients with subjective cure after RA-Burch compared to RMUS at our institution between 2016 and 2020.

Surgical cost of robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy: a comparison of two robotic platforms.

Importance: Robotic assistance in pelvic organ prolapse surgery can improve surgeon ergonomics and instrument dexterity compared with traditional laparoscopy but at increased costs.

Objective: To compare total costs for robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RSC) between two robotic platforms at an academic medical center.

Methods: Retrospective cohort of Senhance (Ascensus) RSC between 1/1/2019 and 6/30/21 who were matched 2:1 with DaVinci (Intuitive) RSC.

Operative Time for Minimally Invasive Sacrocolpopexy: Comparison of Conventional Laparoscopy versus Robotic Platform.

Study Objective: To evaluate the operative time for minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy using conventional laparoscopy vs robotic assistance. In addition, we sought to compare intraoperative complications, mesh complications, anatomic prolapse recurrence, and retreatment.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.
