Abstract

There is a lot to like about this well-designed, prospective RCT comparing robot-assisted and laparoscopic sacral colpopexy by a high-volume, experienced surgeon. Compared to 2 previous similar RCTs, 1 Paraiso MF Jelovsek JE Frick A et al. Laparoscopic compared with robotic sacrocolpopexy for vaginal prolapse: a randomized controlled trial. Obstet Gynecol. 2011; 118: 1005-1013 Crossref PubMed Scopus (293) Google Scholar ,2 Anger JT Mueller ER Tarnay C et al. Robotic compared with laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy: a randomized controlled trial. Obstet Gynecol. 2014; 123: 5-12 Crossref PubMed Scopus (174) Google Scholar the current paper offers a longer mean follow-up period and a higher number of recruited patients. The use of standardized questionnaires, as well as the utilization of both objective and subjective outcome criteria for pelvic support, incontinence, and sexual function, is a plus. Not surprisingly, the anatomic outcomes at a mean of 2 years are excellent and symptomatic improvements have followed suit.
