PFD Week 2016-Robotic Sacrocolpoperineopexy With Ventral Rectopexy

Robotic Sacrocolpoperineopexy With Ventral Rectopexy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, the narrator discusses pelvic floor disorders affecting a significant number of women in the US and the possibility of simultaneous prolapse of the rectum and pelvic organs. Surgeons have developed surgical techniques to correct both prolapses in a combined operation. The video demonstrates the surgical technique for performing a robotic sacroculpoperoneopexy with concomitant ventral rectopexy, highlighting the key anatomic landmarks critical to safely performing the procedure. Trocar placement and dissection steps are detailed. The use of macroporous lightweight polypropylene mesh and an eight-ply quilted porcine submucosal intestinal xenograft for reinforcement is explained. The video highlights the positive outcomes and minimal morbidity seen in patients who underwent the procedure. No specific credits are mentioned in the transcript.
