Single-Port Robotic Sacrocolpopexy: Description of an Advanced Minimally Invasive Approach and Review of the Relevant Literature

Introduction and HypothesisSacrocolpopexy is the gold standard for the surgical management of apical prolapse. Over the years, surgical advancements have transformed the procedure from a laparotomy with a hospital stay of several days to a minimally invasive approach with a much shorter hospital stay. One recent innovation has the potential to transform minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy.MethodsThe da Vinci single-port robotic platform has allowed urological procedures to generate improved recovery, pain control, and cosmesis, with no differences in complications rates.ResultsAlthough the data with respect to sacrocolpopexy are more limited owing to the novelty of this application, the results appear to be similar to those of urological procedures such as prostatectomy.ConclusionsWe present our surgical technique for completing single-port robotic sacrocolpopexy, with and without a hysterectomy, as well as a review of the relevant literature.
