Abstract

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Pelvic floor disorders are common among and disproportionately affect older women. There are limited data regarding perioperative adverse events in older women undergoing robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RASC) specifically. The aim of this study was to compare the rate of perioperative adverse events in younger (age <65 years) versus older (age >65 years) women who underwent RASC.
