[Robot-assisted minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy: a comprehensive review].

Background: Sacrocolpopexy is a well-established surgical procedure for treatment of female genital prolapse and complex pelvic floor disorders. The introduction of robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery has further optimised the precision, invasiveness and efficiency of the procedure.

Purpose: This review analyses the indications, surgical techniques, outcomes and management of complications of robotic sacrocolpopexy.

Results: Robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy shows comparable anatomical and functional results to laparoscopic and open surgical approaches. Compared to laparotomy, minimally invasive techniques reduce perioperative morbidity and accelerate postoperative recovery.

Conclusion: Despite promising results, the treatment decision for robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy must be individually tailored to the severity of the prolapse, location of the prolapse, symptoms and availability of alternative treatment options under consideration of economic aspects.
