Abstract: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) has become a common condition in adult women as risk factors such as age, obesity and childbirth increase. The treatment and management of POP are obviously individualized and diversed, and the optimal strategy should be selected from a variety of strategies according to the individual situation of patients. The surgical strategy also developed from the initial open surgery to minimally invasive laparoscopic technology, and now the minimally invasive robotic technology. Robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RASC) is an emerging surgical technique. Recent studies have shown that RASC not only has the advantages of less blood loss, faster internal recovery, and less risk of mesh exposure, but its short-term and medium-term postoperative repair effect is similar to that of abdominal sacrocolpopexy(ASC). Although RASC has a long learning curve, unclear long-term efficacy and high cost, these problems will be gradually overcome by the development of this technology.
