Anatomical and functional outcomes of robotic abdominal lateral suspension for high-stage anterior-apical prolapse: a case series of 93 patients

Abstract

Background: Robotic-assisted lateral suspension (RALS) to the abdominal wall using a titan-covered T-shaped mesh is a practical alternative procedure of minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy where the robotic platform may deal exclusive pros, especially for the resolution of concomitant anterior and apical pelvic organ prolapse (POP). We aimed to retrospectively define the surgical procedure and the medium and long-term outcomes of a consistent series of RALS in a tertiary referral center for the minimally invasive POP treatment.
