2025 AUGS Clinical Meeting-How to Improve Efficiency During Routine Robotic Sacrocolpopexy Cases

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker details their process and techniques for performing robotic sacral colpopexy, focusing on efficiency and self-sufficiency during surgery. The discussion includes patient consent, comparisons between laparoscopic and robotic sacral colpopexy, and the advantages of robotic autonomy given uncertain OR staffing. The speaker emphasizes video analysis for self-improvement and outlines their procedure: starting with the hysterectomy, dissection and attachment of vaginal mesh, and peritoneal closure. They stress the importance of handling anatomical challenges like excess peritoneal fat and suggest personal tips for suturing under tension. Despite recognizing alternative methods such as barbed sutures and non-reperitonealization, the speaker remains committed to their proven techniques. Audience questions address mesh securing methods, efficiency tips, and surgical variations based on patient needs, demonstrating an ongoing dialogue about optimizing robotic surgeries in pelvic repair. The video reflects a comprehensive approach to advanced surgical practices and techniques in colpopexy with highlights on continuous learning and adaptation.
