Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is the most common urogynecological disease in women of middle and older age groups. This disease causes numerous urogenital symptoms and significantly reduces the quality of life of patients. Surgical correction of POP is the optimal method f treatment for this category of patients, however, the choice of surgery and access remains controversial. In recent decades, thanks to the development of robotic technologies, the use of robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RAS) has become increasingly popular. Numerous studies have shown the equivalence of results compared with the «gold standard» repair of prolapse – open sacrocolpopexy. This article presents a review of the current literature and our own experience of RAS.
