Abstract

Purpose of review: This paper aims to review and comment on the developments in laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy published during the last year. Recent findings: We classified the findings reported recently in the literature for laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy as technical or tactical findings. Technical findings concern the material of the mesh, the methods of mesh fixation, the use of adapted vaginal retractors and the interest in robotic assistance. Tactical findings consist of specific modifications to the standard surgical procedure aimed at reducing the side effects and complications and ameliorating the effectiveness of this intervention. These modifications include the possibility of avoiding the placement of a posterior mesh and the fixation of the posterior mesh to the puborectal muscles or the perineal body instead of the posterior vaginal wall. A specific section has been dedicated to reviewing and commenting on those interventions associated routinely with laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy. Summary: Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy is a safe surgical procedure in constant evolution which allows excellent results in the treatment of utero-vaginal prolapse. Large prospective, randomized studies comparing the different technical and tactical modifications recently introduced are needed in order to further enhance the effectiveness of this intervention.
