Robotic Ventral Mesh Rectopexy: Where do we Stand?

This paper aims to review the current status of robotic ventral mesh rectopexy (VMR). The articles reporting the outcomes of patients who underwent robotic VMR were reviewed and evaluated. Complications of robotic VMR ranged between 0% to 25%, the majority of them were minor complications. Longer op...

Description
Summary:This paper aims to review the current status of robotic ventral mesh rectopexy (VMR). The articles reporting the outcomes of patients who underwent robotic VMR were reviewed and evaluated. Complications of robotic VMR ranged between 0% to 25%, the majority of them were minor complications. Longer operating time and higher hospital expenses are the major limitations of robotic surgery compared to laparoscopy. As an emerging technique, robotic VMR promises good outcomes. Robotic VMR seems to be a safe and effective surgical technique in the treatment of rectal prolapse. Keywords: Robotic, rectopexy, ventral mesh repair
