Abstract

Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSCP) can be challenging even for the experienced surgeon. Knowledge and adequate visualization of the sacral and pelvic anatomy is paramount to prevent potentially catastrophic intra-operative hemorrhage, nerve or ureteral injury, and to facilitate presacral dissection. We highlight several techniques to maximize surgical efficiency, optimize visualization of the sacral anatomy during presacral dissection, as well as a method to facilitate peritoneal closure over the mesh during LSCP. These techniques are generalizable, maximize surgical efficiency and safety, and can decrease frustration during LSCP.<br /> (Published by Elsevier Inc.)
