N2 - As the surgical correction of pelvic organ prolapse has continued to evolve, robotic-assisted abdominal sacrocolpopexy (RASC) has gained increasing popularity. Studies have shown equivalent subjective and objective outcomes compared with the "gold standard" abdominal sacrocolpopexy. Additionally, this approach is associated with a shorter hospital stay and less cost than the traditional open procedure. Although there is a learning curve associated with RASC, the basic principles of the procedure are the same. Herein, we discuss the robotic techniques for repair of pelvic organ prolapse as well as discuss the currently available literature regarding RASC.
