2012 Annual Meeting-Robot Assisted Retropubic Midurethral Sling Resection

Robot Assisted Retropubic Midurethral Sling Resection

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video showcases a robotic-assisted laparoscopic sling revision and excision procedure. The patient is a 50-year-old woman who experienced persistent pelvic pain following a midurethral synthetic sling placement for stress urinary incontinence. Conservative measures did not help, leading to the patient's request for sling excision. The surgery involves careful dissection of the retroperitoneal space using a robotic-assisted laparoscopic approach. Scar tissue is encountered during the procedure, and the surgeon must be cautious to avoid injury to vital structures. Robotic surgery allows for improved visualization and exposure. The video emphasizes the need for careful surgical technique and consideration of potential complications. For further information on laparoscopic surgery, the website www.apmt.us is recommended.
