Abstract
Pelvic organ prolapse is defined as the permanent, partial or total displacement of the pelvic organs in the caudal direction towards the vaginal hiatus, several risk factors are pointed out for this dystopia such as: advanced age, vaginal multiparity, delivery with the use of forceps, obesity, hysterectomy, among others. Surgical treatment can be performed vaginally, abdominally, laparotomy, and laparoscopy; aiming at the physiological reestablishment of the vagina, preservation of the lower urinary tract and sexual functions. Minimally invasive surgery has grown exponentially since the approval of the Da Vinci Surgical System by the Food and Drug Administration (FAD) in 2000. And even with a scarcity of literature confirming its superiority in gynecological surgeries, it was quickly adopted by many hospitals. Compared with traditional laparoscopic surgery, robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery can reduce blood loss, increase lymph node procurement, reduce postoperative pain as well as hospitalization time. The present study had comparatively analyzed the minimally invasive abdominal surgical techniques of robotic and laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy, in order to understand if there are advantages of one technique over the other. For this purpose, was utilized The PRISMA guideline (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses). Papers were consulted in the PubMed (National Library of Medicine, USA), published between 2020 and 2024. Now we have a better understanding of the different minimally invasive surgical techniques in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse.
