Implementation of Robotic-Assisted Sacrocervicopexy for Apical Organ Prolapse Using the Semitendinosus Tendon-Pilot Study and Analysis of Clinical Outcome.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and hypothesis

This video demonstrates a robotic-assisted sacrocervicopexy using the semitendinosus tendon.

Methods

Between June 2022 and February 2023, we performed the worldwide first Da Vinci robotic-assisted sacrocervicopexies (SCP) for apical organ prolapse using the semitendinosus tendon of the left knee. Analysis of safety, feasibility, and clinical outcome of the first ten patients operated on using this new surgical technique included the German pelvic floor questionnaire (GPFQ) as well as a clinical examination.

Results

Ten patients with a follow-up of 12 months were included. There was a significant reduction of the patient's symptoms according to the GPFQ regarding the domain bladder (preoperatively versus 3 months postoperatively, mean 3.85 v
