Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the implementation process and the learning curves of laparoscopic and robotic-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC and RSC, respectively) for vaginal apex prolapse.

Methods: A retrospective study of the first 40 LSC and first 40 RSC procedures performed at one medical center. The primary outcomes were intraoperative bleeding, operative time, and hospitalization. Secondary outcomes were surgical complications. The independent t test, paired t test, χ(2) test, Fisher's exact test and Pearson's correlation were used to analyze the data. We assumed that 34 participants were needed in each group to detect a 50 ml or more difference in estimated blood loss between laparoscopic and robotic surgeries,

Main Results: Age, preoperative pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POPQ) staging, and concomitant medical disorders did not differ significantly by procedure type. For LSC and RSC, the mean estimated intraoperative blood loss was 206 ± 107 and 48 ± 55 ml, P < 0.0001; mean operative times were 176 (110-380 min) and 186 (105-345 min), P = 0.34; and mean length of hospital stay, 3.8 ± 1 and 2.4 ± 1 days, P < 0.0001, respectively. Adverse events were rare, not severe, and did not differ significantly by procedure type.

Conclusions: RSC and LSC are feasible procedures with acceptable complication rates. RSC enables operating more anatomically with less bleeding.

Outcomes of Laparoscopic versus Robotic-Assisted Sacrocolpopexy for Pelvic Organ Prolapse-A Comprehensive Retrospective Analysis.

Article Synopsis
  • Minimally invasive abdominal sacrocolpopexy (SC) is the top method for treating symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse (POP), with robot-assisted laparoscopy (RSC) being compared to traditional laparoscopy (LSC) in this study.
  • A retrospective analysis of 208 patients showed no significant differences between the two surgical techniques in terms of outcomes like operative time and complications, although RSC had a trend toward treating patients with a higher body mass index.
  • While RSC did not prove to be superior to LSC, both techniques had shorter operative times than earlier literature and RSC's efficiency may allow for more surgeries to be completed in a day.

Objectives: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a significant health-care problem for older women. We have treated POP surgically using laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) or robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RSC). The original LSC and RSC procedures were done with anterior and posterior meshes; however, the use of the single mesh procedure is increasing because of its simplicity and safety.

Background: Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) and robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RSC) using mesh are popular approaches for treating pelvic organ prolapse (POP). However, it is not uncommon that native tissue repair (NTR) should be presented as an option to patients who are expected to have extensive intraperitoneal adhesion or patients for whom LSC or RSC is difficult owing to various risk factors. Laparoscopic vaginal stump-uterosacral ligament fixation (Shull method) has been introduced as a method for NTR in case of POP.

PrNiCoO impregnated LaSrCoO oxygen electrode for efficient CO electroreduction in solid oxide electrolysis cells.

The solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) is an advanced electrochemical device with a promising future in reducing CO emissions. Currently, the insufficient oxygen evolution reaction activity in conventional anode materials severely restricts the development of electrolytic CO. Herein, the PNCO-LSC composite oxygen electrode was exploited by impregnating PrNiCoO (PNCO) on the surface of LaSrCoO (LSC) oxygen electrode.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common cause of gynecological disease in elderly women. The prevalence of POP has increased with an aging society. Abdominal sacrocolpopexy (ASC) is safer and more effective than the vaginal approach in patients with apical compartment POP because it has a higher anatomical cure rate, a lower recurrence rate, less dyspareunia, and improved sexual function.
