The Senhance ® assisted laparoscopy in urogynaecology: case report of sacral colpopexy with subtotal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for pelvic organ prolapse

The aim of this case report was to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of nerve-sparing laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (SCP) performed with a minimally invasive approach by using 2.9-mm Senhance ® surgical robotic system (Senhance ® , TRANSENTERIX Inc., USA). A 60-year-old Caucasian woman with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse-Q (POP-Q) Aa: 2, Ba: 3, C: +4, Bp:2, Ap: 2, TVL:10 underwent subtotal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, with nerve-sparing SCP performed using the Senhance surgical robotic system.. The urogynaecological assessment on the day of discharge and at the 3 month follow-up showed surgical anatomic success (<2 POP-Q stage). The patient was fully satisfied with the cosmetic result. This is the first case of SCP performed with this innovative system. SCP using "Senhance ®" is a feasible and effective approach with good results in terms of operative time, cosmesis, postoperative pain and length of hospitalisation.
