2013 Annual Meeting-Methylene Blue As A Visual Aid For Robotic Sacrocolpopexy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the surgeon is preparing for a robotic sacrocopalpexy procedure to repair a vaginal defect. Methylene blue dye is injected into the vaginal mucosa to aid in visualizing the extent of dissection during laparoscopy. The rectovaginal space is developed using blunt dissection and monopolar scissors, ensuring enough space for the mesh. The surgeon locates the apex of the posterior dissection using the visual cue provided by the methylene blue dye. The vesicovaginal space is also developed with dissection and scissors, and further dissection is done to accommodate the mesh placement. The Y-measure is used to measure and cut the anterior and posterior dissection compartments to the required size. The mesh is sutured in place with quill sutures, securing it at the apex. The tail of the mesh is attached to the sacral promontory and the peritoneum is closed over the vagina to prevent mesh exposure. No credits were granted in the transcript.
