Robotic Sacrocolpopexy—Is It the Treatment of Choice for Advanced Apical Pelvic Organ Prolapse?

2017 
Purpose of Review Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a highly prevalent condition among women that, although non-life threatening, can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life (QOL). Sacrocolpopexy (SC) has been touted by many as the “gold standard,” citing superior anatomic success rates compared to transvaginal approaches for apical prolapse repair. In line with current trends throughout the surgical field, robotic-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (RSC) has rapidly gained popularity. This review will present the most contemporary evidence examining RSC and discuss whether it has met criteria to qualify as the “treatment of choice” for advanced apical vaginal prolapse.
