Multicompartment pelvic floor prolapse repairs: Surgical principles

Abstract

The operative management of rectal prolapse has evolved substantially over time. Many patients with rectal prolapse also have concomitant prolapse of their anterior and/or middle compartments. Optimal repair of pelvic organ prolapse will address all of the involved compartments, which often requires close collaboration with a urogynecology or female urology team. This chapter describes our technique for robotic ventral mesh rectopexy with sacrocolpopexy when indicated.
