Abstract

Robotic approach to ventral mesh rectopexy overcomes the technical challenges of low pelvic dissection and suturing in a confined space. Improved visualization can lead to decreased blood loss, fewer complications, lower conversation rates, decreased learning curve, and better functional results. In this chapter we review the operative technique for robotic ventral mesh rectopexy.
