BACKGROUND: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) often concurrently exist. The incontinence in some patients with POP resolves after POP surgery, but it persists in others. Some patients without SUI before surgery may dev...
Deep learning for protein function prediction faces significant challenges in identifying disease-specific proteins. We present Extracellular Matrix Protein Predictor (EPOP), an advanced transfer learning framework leveraging protein language models ...
BACKGROUND: Transvaginal insertion of polypropylene mesh was extensively used in surgical procedures to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) due to its cost-efficiency and durability. However, studies have reported a high rate of complications, includin...
Minimally invasive abdominal sacrocolpopexy (SC) is the treatment of choice for symptomatic, high-grade, apical or multi-compartmental pelvic organ prolapse (POP), in terms of anatomical correction and treatment durability. Robot-assisted sacrocolpop...

Minimally invasive surgical techniques have become more common in pelvic floor reconstructive urogynaecological surgery, specifically, robotic-assisted pelvic floor surgery. Female pelvic floor anatomy is complex, and some repairs require highly expe...
BACKGROUND: The number of robotically assisted sacrocolpopexy procedures are increasing; therefore, experienced clinicians are needed. Simulation-based cadaver models are challenging in aspects of cost and availability. Therefore, we need to look at ...

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the anatomic and clinical outcomes of robot-assisted sacrohysteropexy (RASH) against robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RASC) for the treatment of primary advanced apical prolapse.
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Data examining the effect of diabetes mellitus (DM) on prolapse recurrence after sacrocolpopexy (SCP) is limited. The primary objective of this study was to determine if DM affects prolapse recurrence after robotic SCP.
This study aimed to report a single surgeon's early experience and learning curves of single-incision robotic sacrocolpopexy on two different robotic surgical platforms, namely, the single-site approach on da Vinci Xi and single-port approach on da V...
IMPORTANCE: Robotic assistance in pelvic organ prolapse surgery can improve surgeon ergonomics and instrument dexterity compared with traditional laparoscopy but at increased costs.
