Abstract

With the first series of patients undergoing a robotic-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy reported in 2004 by Di Marco et al., significant advancement has been made in this procedure by critical analysis of many patient series. Review of this procedure offers a good example of how robotics has been incorporated to take an effective procedure and allow improvements to now offer this as an outpatient intervention. Future advances will likely be related to robotic technology to continue to improve operative efficiency and materials to continue to decrease operative complications.
