Robot assisted laparoscopy for genito-urinary prolapse

Abstract

Pelvic organ Prolapse (POP) is a quite common condition amongst women, especially elderly women seem to show a growing incidence, since obesity, rising age and other risk factors get more and more common; for minor prolapses, physical therapy and pelvic floor muscle exercises can be a sufficient form of therapy. In greater degrees of prolapse, a vaginal pessary can be inserted; in case of insufficient non-invasive strategies, surgical repair can be advised.
