PFD Week 2016-Efficiency In Robotic Sacrocervicopexy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a 48-year-old female patient with uterovaginal prolapse and menometorrhagia undergoes a laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy. The procedure utilizes a robotic harmonic scalpel for efficient and hemostatic removal of the uterus. Ureters are identified before dissection of the broad ligament. The uterine corpus is amputated and the endocervix is cauterized. The vesicouterine peritoneum and posterior cervical vaginal plane are opened, allowing for the attachment of a vaginal graft. The sacral promontory is identified and sutures are placed through the medial longitudinal ligament for securing the graft. The peritoneum is closed and the uterine corpus is morcellated. The patient is discharged home with minimal discomfort. No credits were given in the transcript.
