What is Da Vinci Sacrocolpopexy?
da Vinci Sacrocolpopexy is a procedure in which the surgeon utilizes a robotic platform to assist in the surgical correction of pelvic organ prolapse. The robotic platform allows the surgeon to control a 3D camera and three robotic arms that are introduced through small incisions in the abdomen.
How much does Sacrocolpopexy cost?
For the Robot Existing robot model, robotic sacrocolpopexy was the most expensive, $8508 per procedure compared with laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy at $7353 and abdominal sacrocolpopexy at $5792.
What happens if you leave a prolapse untreated?
If prolapse is left untreated, over time it may stay the same or slowly get worse. In rare cases, severe prolapse can cause obstruction of the kidneys or urinary retention (inability to pass urine). This may lead to kidney damage or infection.
Is robotic Sacrocolpopexy safe?
Conclusions: Robotic assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy represents a safe and effective surgical therapy to manage symptomatic apical pelvic organ prolapse. Serious complication rates are low but not rare when assessing short-term outcomes.
What is Dada Vinci sacrocolpopexy?
da Vinci sacrocolpopexy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a combination of laparoscopy and robotics to treat pelvic organ prolapse, a medical condition in which organs in a woman’s pelvis—the vagina, uterus, rectum, bladder, urethra, and/or small bowel—move lower than their normal positions in the belly.
What are the benefits of da Vinci sacrocolpopexy?
Benefits of Da Vinci Sacrocolpopexy. The da Vinci system offers several benefits over open surgery: High-definition 3D camera with magnification. Smaller, more precise movements of the surgical tools. Insertion of tools through several small incisions. Less pain and blood loss. Less scarring.
What are the benefits of a pelvic organ prolapse repair with da Vinci?
A review of published studies suggests that potential benefits of a pelvic organ prolapse repair (sacrocolpopexy) with da Vinci technology include: Patients may experience fewer complications compared to patients who had open surgery 4,5 and a comparable complication rate to patients who had laparoscopic surgery. 4,5,7,8.
What is sacrocolpopexy for pelvic prolapse?
da Vinci Sacrocolpopexy for Pelvic Prolapse. Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the pelvic floor muscles that hold the organs in place become weakened or stretched due to childbirth, surgery (hysterectomy), excessive weight, pelvic organ tumors, frequent constipation, or a chronic cough. This can cause pelvic tissue or organs to extend to…
