• Evaluation of the long-time clinical outcomes of robotic sacral hysteropexy for pelvic organ prolapse.
• The robotic sacral hysteropexy is a minimally invasive technique for pelvic organ prolapse repair.
• The robotic sacral hysteropexy give low complication rates and high patient satisfaction.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the long-time clinical outcomes of robotic sacral hysteropexy for pelvic organ prolapse (POP).MethodsFive women who underwent robotic sacral hysteropexy for the treatment for POP. Blood loss, operative time, length of stay, blood transfusion, pulmonary embolus, gastrointestinal or genitourinary tract injury, ileus, bowel obstruction, post-operative fever, and urinary retention were recorded for all patients.ResultsAll the operative procedures were successfully performed using the robotic approach. In one case with perineal laceration, perineal repair was simultaneously performed, and in one patient with combined leiomyoma, myomectomy was performed first. The other three cases underwent no additional procedures during the surgery. Neither intra-nor post-operative complications occurred in all 5 cases. After follow-up one year, all patients declared their satisfaction with the achieved anatomical and functional results.ConclusionsThe robotic sacral hysteropexy is a minimally invasive technique for POP repair. We found low complication rates and high patient satisfaction with a minimum of 1 year followup. Larger series with longer follow-up data are needed to justify its widespread use.
