Workshop Overview:
The use and techniques of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy with or without robotic assistance have evolved such that it is commonly adapted to treat all support defects for patients with uterovaginal or post-hysterectomy prolapse. This “video-heavy”, practical, clinical workshop is intended to provide detailed surgical tips about contemporary use and techniques of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy with and without robotic assistance used regularly by three busy Urogynecologists who perform hundreds of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexies per year. We will offer step-by-step technical surgical descriptions, and we will cover ways to avoid and deal with intraoperative and post-operative complications. Our hope is that even experienced attendees will come away with at least some specific useful ideas that may lead to greater efficiency, success, autonomy and/or safety.

Learning Objectives:

Describe efficient techniques for laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy with and without robotic assistance.
Describe methods for avoiding significant blood loss during laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy.
Describe methods for minimizing rates of surgical failure and complications during laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy.
