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....
Nonabsorbable monofilament suture is traditionally used to secure vaginal mesh for robot-assisted sacral colpopexy (RASC) but can become exposed postoperatively requiring invasive vaginal removal. Polydioxanone delayed absorbable suture may avoid th...
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: 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: We report the case of a 49-year-old woman who came to our institution complaining of bowel constipation and bladder outlet obstruction due to the recurrence of a pelvic prolapse after anterior abdominal wall hysteropexy p...
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate stepwise techniques for the successful use of the laparoscopic single-site technique for safely performing transvaginal sacrocolpopexy for pelvic organ prolapse.
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in assessing pelvic organ prolapse (POP), and automated pelvic floor landmark localization potentially accelerates MRI-based measurements of POP. Herein, we aimed t...
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) has high recurrence rates. Long-term anatomical and patient-reported outcomes after pelvic floor repair are therefore required.
Pelvic organ prolapse affects 30-50% of the female population. For definitive treatment surgery is unavoidable. Sacrocolpopexy has been the gold standard for anatomical correction of pelvic organ prolapse since the 1990s. Recently, pectopexy has been...
