INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: To assess the critical threshold to optimize operating room (OR) time for each surgical team member in robotically assisted sacrocolpopexy (RASCP) and to evaluate the most efficient team compositions.
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the American College of Surgeons National Surgery Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) surgical risk calculator in predicting postoperative complications in pat...
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....
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The use of synthetic mesh in transvaginal pelvic floor surgery has been subject to debate internationally. Although mesh erosion appears to be less associated with an abdominal approach, the long-term outcome has not been...
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: We aimed to compare outcomes of open and robot-assisted artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation in female patients.
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Pelvic organ prolapse shows an increasing prevalence (3-50 %). The gold standard treatment for apical prolapse is sacrocolpopexy, which can be performed via minimal access (conventional laparoscopy or robotic surgery) or ...
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The objective of this study was to quantitatively assess the ability of new MRI-based measurements to differentiate low and high stages of pelvic organ prolapse. New measurements representing pelvic structural characteris...
