Revision sacrocolpopexy: tips and tricks for optimal outcomes

Introduction and hypothesis The aim of this video is to highlight important considerations and techniques for revision sacrocolpopexy in women with symptomatic recurrence of pelvic organ prolapse after sacrocolpopexy. Methods In this video, we show five patients who presented with recurrent symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse after prior sacrocolpopexy. We demonstrate techniques for robotic-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy revision including surgical dissection, revision of existing mesh, and/or addition of new mesh. Conclusions Overall, revision sacrocolpopexy requires an individualized approach. These surgeries are often challenging because of adhesions and altered anatomy from the prior sacrocolpopexy. The reviewed considerations and techniques can be useful for ensuring a safe and effective outcome.
