The surgical repair of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) has a major role to play nowadays, but due to aging of the population will be even
more important in the future. There are many innovative changes in the concept of POP surgery during last decade, especially in
new techniques and implants to reach the optimal tissue support. The POP is a multicompartmental disorder and usually consists of
urethrocele, cystocele, uterine or vaginal vault prolapse, enterocoele or rectocele. We summarize the evolution of the newest techniques
of sacrocolpopexy especially using the da Vinci surgical robotic system and we evaluate the current role of robotic sacrocolpopexy in
POP surgery as well.
