To study the clinical efficacy of robotic sacral hysteropexy in treatment of uterine prolapse. From January 2012 to December 2013, 3 patients undergoing robotic sacral hysteropexy in treatment of uterine prolapse in General Hospital of People's Liberation Army were studied retrospectively. Operation time, blood loss and postoperative recovery exhaust time and pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) staging were evaluated. Three patients were treated by robotic sacral hysteropexy successfully. The mean operation time was 221 minutes (210-240 minutes), mean blood loss was 45 ml. One case with II degree perineal laceration patients simultaneously perineal repair, neither intra-nor post-operative complications occurred. The mean postoperative recovery exhaust time was 16 hours. At three months of follow-up, all 3 patients got satisfaction. Although one patient at the first six months of postoperation had leakage of urine when coughing, instruct exercise pelvic floor muscle function and acupuncture one month their symptoms disappear. Robotic sacral hysteropexy pave the way for an effective option in the management of uterine prolapse.
