Robotic ventral rectopexy

Robotic surgery is a safe technique for the treatment of rectal prolapse with specific advantages over both open abdominal and laparoscopic techniques. Robotic surgery provides high-quality, three-dimensional visualization of the pelvic anatomy while facilitating the dissection of the rectovaginal septum and suturing in the deep pelvis compared to laparoscopic techniques. These advantages make robotic surgery ideally suited for minimally invasive ventral rectopexy, a technique with a proven low recurrence rate and excellent functional outcomes.
