Robotic Lateral Pelvic Organ Prolapse Suspension of Multicompartment Vaginal Prolapse

Abstract

Objective
\nSacrocolpopexy is associated with rare but serious morbidity. The technique was progressively modified.[1,2,3] The goal of our video is to highlight the robotic technique in a multicompartment prolapse of vaginal vault with lateral suspension. The patient was a 58-year-old female with multicompartment pelvic organ prolapse arose after hysterectomy.

\nDesign
\nWe further developed this technique with the da Vinci system which allowed us to avoid the transparietal passage of the mesh, avoiding potential damage to the ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerves. There was no standardized procedure.[4,5,6,7,8] Informed consent was obtained.

\nSetting
\nManzoni Hospital, third referral center. All the crucial steps of our surgical approach were visualized. Position of the patient was described in our previous paper.[9,10] After introducing the da Vinci 0° optic, we placed the two 8-mm trocars in each iliac fossa, laterally about 5 cm above and 2 cm medial to the anterior superior iliac spine.

\nInterventions
\nThe procedure uses a titanized propylene prosthesis shaped in T that gives it maneuverability and elasticity proper to native tissues. The positioning technique involves a first phase of removing peritoneum from the vaginal dome and then the disconnect of the vescicovaginal band to delimit the mesh anchoring plans. The lateral trajectory of it consists to insert in a retrograde manner the side arm of the prothesis in the context of the lateral abdominal wall with a posterior projection to the anterior-upper iliac crest in a space which is free of major complications [Figures ​[Figures11 and ​and2].2]. Procedure started with dissection of the cervicovesical pouch. The vesicovaginal space was then identified between the bladder and the anterior vaginal wall. A mesh (Endolas® 41.5 cm × 5 cm × 15 cm) with two lateral arms was tailored and fixed to the vagina, by six sutures of 2-0 polyglactin 910. The peritoneum of the vesicouterine fold was closed over the mesh.
