What Is Robotic Sacrocolpopexy?
Robotic sacrocolpopexy, also known as abdominal sacrocolpopexy, is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat pelvic organ prolapse. This procedure uses the da Vinci robotic system for the repair operation. It has become preferred over traditional surgical methods because of its advantages for causing less trauma and lowered risks.

What Happens During Robotic Sacrocolpopexy?
The surgeon takes you through the proper preliminaries of reviewing your fitness for this procedure. da Vinci robotic sacrocolpopexy is performed under general anesthesia, taking between two and three hours.
The overview of this operation typically follows steps that include:
- Preparation. You’re laid on the operation table and anesthetized.
- Port placement. Your CMP surgeon makes small incisions on the abdomen.
- Dissection. The doctor makes a dissection to identify the prolapsed organ.
- Repair. The surgeon performs the repair using the da Vinci robotic system.
- Closure. The incisions are closed, and you’re transferred to the recovery room.
- Recovery. You can expect to go home the same day and fully recover within two to four weeks.
Abdominal sacrocolpopexy has minor risks such as urine retention, bleeding and adhesions, all of which are greatly reduced and effectively addressed by Dr. Cohen. CMP is committed to providing the highest standards of medical care in this procedure.
