Abstract
As life expectancy continues to increase, quality-of-life health problems such as pelvic organ prolapse will increasingly demand more attention and treatment from health-care providers. Surgical repair of pelvic organ prolapse has become one of the most common types of procedures performed in women. While the abdominal sacrocolpopexy has often been referenced as the gold standard surgical procedure for correcting pelvic organ prolapse, minimally invasive routes of sacrocolpopexy and other gynecologic procedures are becoming more popular. Technologic advances in minimally invasive surgery have been rapidly adopted, and robotic techniques for prolapse repair have surpassed vaginal repairs in many instances. With both laparoscopic and robotic surgery, surgeons must be aware of the unique set of perioperative considerations and potential complications. In this chapter we will discuss the potential perioperative complications unique to minimally invasive female pelvic surgery and outline specific methods to decrease their incidence.
