For patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP), the objective benefits of robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RSCP) surgical intervention for restoring bladder functions, primarily urine storage, have yet to be established. Also, bladder compliance is a viscoelastic parameter that crucially defines the storage function. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the impact of RSCP on bladder compliance of POP patients using a pressure-volume analysis (PVA), which graphically illustrates bladder compliance.</p><p><strong>Design: </strong>A retrospective pre and postoperative study.</p><p><strong>Setting: </strong>Multiple hospitals in Taiwan.</p><p><strong>Patients: </strong>Twenty seven female POP patients (stage ≥ II).</p><p><strong>Intervention: </strong>RSCP for POP repair.</p><p><strong>Measurements and main results: </strong>We retrospectively reviewed the pre- and postoperative PVAs for women with POP who underwent RSCP.

Changes in intravesical volume (ΔVive) and detrusor pressure (ΔPdet) of bladder filling, ΔPdet in the early (ΔPdet1/2) and late (ΔPdet2/2) filling, and postvoiding residual volume (Vres) were analyzed as secondary outcomes. Compared with the preoperative control, RSCP increased Cm (p = .010, N = 27) and C2/2 (p <.001, N = 27) but negligibly affected C1/2 (p = .457, N = 27).
