AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined the outcomes and safety of robotic sacrocolpopexy (RSC) for women with uterine/vaginal vault prolapse between 2009 and 2015, involving 16 participants.
- Results showed that 100% of patients had treatment success, with improvements in prolapse severity and significant reductions in pelvic floor distress scores post-surgery.
- Overall, RSC was found to be effective and safe, with high patient satisfaction and minimal complications reported, suggesting it as a top treatment choice for apical prolapse.
Article Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the surgical outcomes and safety of robotic sacrocolpopexy (RSC) in patients with uterine/vaginal vault prolapse.
Methods: Between January 2009 and June 2015, 16 women with apical prolapse underwent RSC. Pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) examination was performed, and treatment success was defined as the presence of grade 0 or I apical prolapse upon POP-Q examination at the final follow-up. Pelvic floor distress inventory-short form 20 (PFDI-SF 20) was administered at every follow-up. A treatment satisfaction questionnaire was administered by telephone to evaluate patient satisfaction with the operation.
Results: Median age was 65 years (interquartile range [IQR], 56-68 years), and follow-up duration was 25.3 months (IQR, 5.4-34.0 months). Thirteen women (81.3%) had ≥grade III apical prolapse. Operation time was 251 minutes (IQR, 236-288 minutes), and blood loss was 75 mL (IQR, 50-150 mL). Median hospital stay was 4 days (IQR, 3-5 days). At the final follow-up, treatment success was reported in all patients, who presented grade 0 (n=8, 57.1%) and grade I (n=6, 42.9%) apical prolapse. Dramatic improvements in PFDI-SF 20 scores were noted after RSC (from 39 to 4; P=0.001). Most patients (12 of 13) were satisfied with RSC. An intraoperative complication (sacral venous plexus injury) was reported in 1 patient, and there was no conversion to open surgery. Mesh erosion was not reported.
Conclusions: RSC is an efficient and safe surgical option for apical prolapse repair. Most patients were satisfied with RSC. Thus, RSC might be one of the best treatment options for apical prolapse in women.

Purpose: Surgical repair is considered the mainstay of genital prolapse management. Several procedures are available both by vaginal and abdominal route, with and without mesh augmentation. The Italian UroGynecology Association (AIUG) promoted this survey with the aim of evaluating current variations in the surgical management of various types of prolapse in different clinical settings and to compare practice amongst practitioners working in high- and medium/low-volume centers.

Pelvic organ prolapse is a debilitating condition that diminishes quality of life, and it has been linked to pregnancy and aging. Injury of the uterosacral ligaments (USLs), which provide apical support to the pelvic organs, is a major cause of uterine prolapse. In this study, we examined the effect of pregnancy and age on the apparent elastic modulus, susceptibility to collagen damage, and extracellular matrix (ECM) composition of the murine USL.

Objectives: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) has traditionally been treated by vaginal native tissue repair. This study aimed to review two cohorts of women surgically treated for POP regarding surgical characteristics, and compare long-term outcomes based on subjective satisfaction and surgeon experience.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study of 490 women undergoing a primary native-tissue POP procedure during 2002-2004 (cohort 1, n=201), or during 2012-2014 (cohort 2, n=289).

Importance: Electrosurgical vessel sealing devices for vaginal hysterectomy have demonstrated reduced postoperative pain. This modality, however, has not been evaluated in patients undergoing vaginal hysterectomy with pelvic reconstruction.
Objective: The aim of the study was to describe postoperative pain levels utilizing the LigaSure vessel sealing device for vaginal hysterectomy in patients undergoing major reconstructive surgery.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective was to evaluate and compare the short-term postoperative complications of concomitant pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and rectal prolapse repair with isolated apical prolapse repair or rectopexy.
Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive literature search was performed using Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, and Scopus for studies published up to April 2024.
