Abstract
BACKGROUND
Pelvic organ prolapse is a common condition, affecting about 50% of women with children. The aim of our study was to evaluate results and complication rates in a consecutive series of female patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterosacropexy (RALHSP).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We performed a medical record review of female patients with uterine prolapse who had consecutively undergone RALHSP from February 2010 to 2013 at our department.
RESULTS
Fifteen patients were included in the analysis. All patients had uterine prolapse stage ≥ II and urodynamic stress urinary incontinence. The mean age was 58.26 years. According to the Clavien-Dindo system, 4 out of 15 patients (26.6%) had grade 1 early complications and 1 patient had a grade 2 complication. At a median follow-up of 36 months, there was a significant prolapse relapse rate of 20% (3/15).
CONCLUSION
In our hands RALHSP is easy to perform, with satisfying mid-term outcomes and a low complication rate.
