Abstract
Aim
This study aimed to compare short- and long-term surgical outcomes between robotic sacrocolpopexy (RSC) and laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC), performed with concomitant total hysterectomy, in patients with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
Methods
This retrospective cohort study included 167 women who underwent RSC (n = 113) or LSC (n = 54) with hysterectomy for uterine prolapse at Kawasaki Medical University between March 2020 and December 2024. Perioperative parameters, complications (Clavien–Dindo classification), and POP recurrence were assessed. The POP-Q was used for anatomical evaluation. Long-term outcomes such as recurrence, urinary incontinence, and mesh erosion were monitored over a median follow-up of 30 (RSC) and 52.5 (LSC) months.
Results
The patients in the RSC group were significantly younger and had a higher incidence of diabetes. RSC had longer operative times (median 175 min vs. 152 min; p < 0.01) but comparable blood loss, complication rates, and hospital stay. POP-Q showed greater cervical elevation in the RSC group at one month (p < 0.05). The long-term recurrence rate was low and similar between the groups (RSC, 2.7%; LSC, 3.7%; p = 0.71). Mesh erosion, urinary incontinence, and organ prolapse were rare and did not differ significantly between the groups.
Conclusions
RSC with concomitant hysterectomy is a safe and effective alternative to LSC with comparable short- and long-term outcomes. Despite longer operative times, RSC offers anatomical benefits without increasing the risk of postoperative complications or recurrence.
