Robotic Colpopexy
The primary support structures of the cervix are the uterosacral ligaments, which hold the uterus and upper vagina in place. In pelvic organ prolapse, these ligaments weaken.
The primary support structures of the cervix are the uterosacral ligaments, which hold the uterus and upper vagina in place. In pelvic organ prolapse, these ligaments weaken.
In patients with mild to moderate prolapse, the ligaments are stretched but remain intact. They can therefore be used to repair the prolapse. This procedure is usually performed at the time of hysterectomy. After the hysterectomy, the uterosacral ligaments are shortened with sutures, which elevates and supports the top of the vagina.
Biosure Graft (click for video to learn more) is then used to repair the cystocele and rectocele. A perineal repair with vaginal rejuvenation is typically performed as the final step.

Dr. Shashoua and his ENTIRE staff are absolutely amazing! I highly recommend! I had a hysterectomy, mid-urethral sling, and davinci uterosacral colpopexy right before Thanksgiving and Dr. Shashoua made sure to follow up with me several times during the Holiday Break which brought me great comfort. Thanks again for the great care!
I'm not in need of care any longer since all went well with my surgical procedure. I would not hesitate to refer other women for evaluation (and care) of female pelvic problems with Dr. Shashoua and his team. If you decide to see him, you'll experience what clinically competent, patient-centered care really feels like.
