Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, four surgeons debate the best surgical approach for treating pelvic prolapse: sacrocopopexy with concurrent hysterectomy, vaginal hysterectomy with native tissue repair, sacrohistreopexy without hysterectomy, or laparoscopic sacrohistreopexy with concurrent hysterectomy. Each surgeon presents their arguments and evidence in support of their chosen approach. The debate touches on topics such as mesh exposure rates, postoperative complications, OR time, and patient preferences. Ultimately, the goal is to find a durable repair with minimal complications for the patient. The video highlights the importance of informed consent and individualized treatment options based on patient characteristics and risk factors. No specific credits were mentioned in the video.
