PFD Week 2018-Robotic Uterosacral Ligament Suspension

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this instructional video, medical student Norena DeSoma from the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria demonstrates the process of robotic utero-sacral ligament suspension. This technique is used to provide support to the vagina and prevent post-hysterectomy vaginal bolt prolapse. The video outlines the steps involved in the suspension, including identifying anatomical landmarks and using the Xero V-lock suture to anchor the ligaments. Proper identification and manipulation of tissues, such as the rectovaginal septum and pubocervical fascia, are crucial for a successful suspension. The video emphasizes the importance of performing this procedure during minimally invasive hysterectomies to reduce the risk of subsequent apical vaginal prolapse.
