Subjective and objective outcomes 1 year after robotic-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy.

We aimed to assess the subjective and objective outcomes 1 year after robotic sacrocolpopexy using a type I polypropylene mesh. This was a case series of 64 patients who underwent a robotic-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy using a type I monofilament polypropylene mesh coated with hydrophilic porcine collagen. Objective and subjective outcomes were assessed using the pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q), the short forms of the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ 7) and the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20). Outcome measures were collected pre-operatively and 1 year post-operatively on all but one patient, who was lost to follow-up. Paired comparisons between pre- and post-operative outcomes were performed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test. At 1 year, POP-Q stage II or greater and loss of follow-up were considered to be surgical failure. The "surgical cure" rate was 89%. We observed three distal anterior failures, two distal posterior failures and one apical failure, and one patient was lost to follow-up. We found significant differences between pre- and post-operative POP-Q measurements (p < 0.001) and PFDI-20/PFIQ-7 total scores (p < 0.001). Robotic sacrocolpopexy using this polypropylene mesh resulted in significant improvements in subjective and objective outcome measures at 1 year.
