Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video provides tips and tricks for laparoscopic sacral colpopexy. The procedure starts with an entry at the umbilicus, followed by tunneling through the subcutaneous fat above the rectus muscle. The trocar is then passed through the rectus muscle and tunnelled down parallel to the rectus muscle fibers. Insufflation is done in the standard manner. The video also discusses techniques for accessory trocar entry, opening of the broad ligament, uterine vessel skeletonization, and amputation of the uterus. Suturing and needle handling techniques are demonstrated, as well as mesh tacking to the sacral promontory. The video concludes by emphasizing that these tips can enhance surgical repair.
