PFD Week 2016-Anatomic Landmarks During Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Sacral Colpopexy

Anatomic Landmarks During Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Sacral Colpopexy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video provides an overview of the anatomic landmarks involved in performing a laparoscopic or robotic-assisted laparoscopic sacral copopexy, which is a procedure used for apical prolapse. The video mentions that sacral copopexy has become the gold standard for this condition, with around 34,000 surgeries performed in the US in 2010. The video also discusses the potential complications that can occur during and after the procedure, as well as the importance of understanding the anatomic landmarks to reduce the risk of these complications. A case study is presented, showing the step-by-step process of the surgery, including the identification of various structures and the attachment of the mesh for support. The video concludes with acknowledgments to collaborators and credits for the animated images used in the presentation.
