Abstrakt: Importance: Robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy (SCP) is a commonly performed procedure for the repair of apical pelvic organ prolapse; therefore, novel devices and techniques to improve safety and efficacy of this procedure should be explored.
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess safety and efficacy of 8-mm trocar site for use of a disposable suture/needle management device (StitchKit; Origami Surgical, Madison, NJ) for robot-assisted SCP with a 4-arm configuration and no assistant port.
Study Design: This is a retrospective case series of patients undergoing robot-assisted SCP at a tertiary center from 2018 to 2021. All surgical procedures were performed using four 8-mm robotic trocars and StitchKit device. Our objective was to review all cases in which this technique was used to determine whether the approach resulted in a safely completed procedure and any complications or adverse events. Secondary objectives were to describe patient and operative characteristics.
Results: In total, 422 patients underwent robot-assisted SCP for pelvic organ prolapse. The mean age was 60 ± 10 years, and mean body mass index was 27 ± 6 (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared). Most patients had stage 3 prolapse (73%) and underwent concomitant hysterectomy (70%). Ninety-nine percent (n = 416) of cases were completed robotically. StitchKit was successfully inserted and removed in all robotic cases with correct needle counts. All patients had postoperative visits, and 80% followed up at 3 months. No umbilical/port site hernias, operative site infections, or adverse events were reported.
Conclusions: Robot-assisted SCP can be performed safely using a 4-arm robotic configuration and suture kit device. This setup eliminates incisions greater than 8 mm and an assistant port, allowing for surgical efficiency without compromising patient outcomes.
