Abstract

Abdominal sacrocolpopexy (SCP) has been considered one of the gold standard surgical procedures for correction of apical pelvic organ prolapse, with high success rates and few complications (Maher et al. Database Syst Rev, 2013). Minimally invasive SCP has been shown to have the additional benefit of reduced blood loss and decreased hospital length of stay, without compromising anatomic or subjective outcomes (Freeman et al. Int Urogynecol J 24:377–84, 2013). This report summarizes the latest literature on minimally invasive SCP, with a focus on outcomes and efficiency. Recent randomized controlled trials (RCT) have shown equivalent subjective and anatomic outcomes for robotic SCP (RSCP) and laparoscopic SCP (LSCP), with increased operative time and cost associated with RSCP.
