Surgical Robotics Technology
Patients with pelvic organ prolapse are now experiencing the benefits of a groundbreaking minimally invasive robotic procedure at University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust (UHNM).
Royal Stoke University Hospital’s gynaecological surgeons are the first in the Midlands to use robotic technology to implant a synthetic vaginal mesh for prolapse support.
This advanced robotic procedure, called sacrocolpopexy, offers multiple benefits, including shorter hospital stays, reduced post-surgical pain, minimal scarring, and quicker recovery.
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when weakened pelvic muscles allow organs like the bladder, uterus, or bowel to shift from their normal position, often leading to discomfort and urinary issues.
