Abstract
The purpose of this article is to update the debate on the impact of robotic surgery for pelvic organ prolapse with recent literature. Review of this subject will continue the analysis of the expansion of robotic surgery and its impact on the value and quality of pelvic organ prolapse surgery. Up until recently, this area of study was dominated by retrospective data with conflicting evidence. The quality of literature on the subject has improved in the past 5 years. Randomized control trials have started reporting results that are more consistent between studies. Additionally, high-quality patient data from a Nationwide Inpatient Sample database has been available since introduction of the robotic modifier code for robotic surgery in 2008. Meta-analyses examining the differences amongst studies will also be discussed. This article will review the literature and examine the debate on the impact of robotic surgery on cost, patient safety, outcomes, and training.
