Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP), the descent of one or more pelvic organs, occurs in an estimated 40 to 60% of parous women. Conventional transvaginal surgery for POP has been plagued with high failure rates. The purpose was to determine the safety and feasibility of robotic transvaginal POP surgery. METHODS: The da Vinci Surgical Robot, SI was used in the POP surgical procedures. There were two cadavers (aged 18 and 78 years of age; BMI 17.2 and 19.2 respectively). POP-Q scores before intervention were stage 1 for both cadavers. RESULTS: The visualization of anatomical landmarks and the placement of sutures at these locations were successful. CONCLUSION: Robotic transvaginal POP is a feasible option for POP surgery. Further studies are warranted to determine the role of robotic transvaginal POP repair.
