Popis: | An abdominal approach to apical pelvic organ prolapse surgery yields superior outcomes in terms of decreased recurrence rates. Furthermore, there is evidence to support that a minimally invasive approach yields better patient outcomes over an abdominal approach. However, there remains debate in the field over which minimally invasive approach is better. In this review, we compare conventional straight stick laparoscopy and robotic-assisted laparoscopy techniques for sacrocolpopexy and sacrocervicopexy (LSC and RASC). We reviewed data from recent retrospective and prospective studies that directly compare LSC and RASC. In particular, we considered complications, operative time, patient outcomes, and cost. Both LSC and RASC have benefits over the traditional open abdominal approach. Complication rates are low and resolution of prolapse is high in both LSC and RASC. Operative time and costs are generally higher in RASC. The existing studies comparing LSC and RASC have relatively small sample sizes. It will be important for further robust prospective studies to directly compare these two common minimally invasive approaches to pelvic organ prolapse. |
