Standardized surgical technique and dedicated operating room environment can reduce the operative time during robotic-assisted surgery for pelvic floor disorders.

Robotic-assisted surgery for pelvic floor disorders (PFD) meets the accepted standards for laparoscopic surgery. The aim of this study was to describe the technique and the impact of this standardized surgical technique and dedicated operating teams on the operative time for robotic-assisted laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (RALVMR). Data from a prospective database were extracted for all patients who underwent RALVMR between January 2008 and May 2012 for multi-compartment PFD.
