Technical modifications for cost optimization in robot-assisted ventral mesh rectopexy: an initial experience.

Journal: Techniques in coloproctology
PMID: 36802041

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted ventral mesh rectopexy is considered a valid option in the treatment of rectal prolapse. However, it involves higher costs than the laparoscopic approach. The aim of this study is to determine if less expensive robotic surgery for rectal prolapse can be safely performed.
