PFD Week 2018-A Comparison of Two Suture Techniques for Vaginal Mesh Attachment during Robotic-Assisted Sacrocolpopexy

A Comparison of Two Suture Techniques for Vaginal Mesh Attachment during Robotic-Assisted Sacrocolpopexy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the use of laparoscopic surgery and robotic-assisted surgery for sacral colpopexy. It compares the outcomes of using continuous barbed sutures versus interrupted sutures for vaginal mesh attachment during robotic-assisted sacral colpopexy. The video demonstrates the technique of using continuous barbed sutures for mesh fixation, starting with anterior and posterior dissection. The results of the study showed that there was no significant difference in operative time between the two suture techniques. There were also no significant differences in interoperative complications, prolapse retreatment, prolapse recurrence, or mesh exposure. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
