Implementation of robotic ups (unilateral pectineal suspension) for the correction of apical prolapse in a high volume laparoscopy center

Introduction and aims: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common disorder. Conservative treatment can be addressed; if unsuccessful, surgery is indicated. Surgical treatments such as vaginal hysterectomy (with anterior and posterior repair), sacrospinous fixation and laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy are broadly used as standard surgical procedures. Performing a hysterectomy does not increase the success rate. In addition, the use of synthetic meshes is under debate because of possible postoperative complications.
