Treatment of pelvic organ prolapse is complex, and several operations are described for the surgical treatment. Ventral mesh rectopexy involves anterior rectal mobilization, placement of a synthetic or biologic mesh between the rectum and vagina and rectal fixation to the sacral promontorium by the mesh. While mesh serves as a support between the rectum and vagina, limited anterior rectal mobilization provides protection of the nerves, and decreased postoperative complications. In this video, we present technical tips and tricks of robotic ventral mesh rectopexy.
