However, variability persists regarding preoperative evaluation, patient selection, and procedural techniques. This Delphi consensus aims to provide evidence-based recommendations to standardize practice, enhance patient outcomes, and address key gaps in the literature.<h4>Methods</h4>Thirty-three experts in RVMR participated in a structured Delphi process. The panel addressed 10 key clinical questions, covering preoperative workup, surgical indications, procedural steps, learning curves, training, and RVMR outcomes. The consensus process was reached through iterative surveys, literature reviews, and a rigorous voting methodoInternational journal of colorectal disease214https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC12532664biostudies-literature2025 Delphi consensus on robotic ventral mesh rectopexy.PMC12532664Marotta AMarra AACelentano VBianchi PPItalian Club of Robotic Surgery (ICORS), the Società Italiana di Chirurgia Colo-Rettale (SICCR), and the Società Italiana Unitaria di ColoProctologia (SIUCP)Naldini GMarchegiani FAzzolina DD'Hoore AStuto ATonsi AGrossi UCarra MCAscanelli SMasetti MTalento PDall'Oco Tundo IGallo GCoratti AGoglia MMilone MBraini AMartinez-Perez ADe Simone VMartinello RSileri PPavone GLenisa LDa Pozzo FEspin-Basany EMartellucci JSani VGenovese ALa Greca GKhan JAdamina MTestini MDe Nardi Pde'Angelis NPellino GRatto CSchena CABislenghi Gfalse2025 Delphi consensus on robotic ventral mesh rectopexy.<h4>Purpose</h4>Robotic ventral mesh rectopexy (RVMR) has emerged as an effective technique for addressing rectal prolapse (RP) and associated pelvic floor disorders.
