Background: To describe the surgical technique and operative outcomes of transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (V-NOTES) for sacrocolpopexy with or without robotic surgical system in patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Methods: Patients with POP undergoing traditional transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (TV-NOTES) or robotic transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RV-NOTES) for sacrocolpopexy performed by one surgeon from Sep 2020 to Jan 2023 in our hospital were included in this study. The baseline demographics and operative outcomes were collected and analyzed. In addition, some surgical skills were presented. The operative outcomes of V-NOTES for sacrocolpopexy performed by three beginners were also presented. Results: Eight patients who underwent TV-NOTES, and two patients who underwent RV-NOTES were included in this study. The mean operative time was 180 ± 49 min, and the estimated blood loss was 107 ± 82 ml for these ten cases. Particularly, the operative time of the two patients who underwent RV-NOTES was 275 and 132 min, while the estimated blood loss (EBL) was 100 and 50 ml respectively. During the follow-up period, no mesh exposure and recurrence were observed. In addition, five cases of TV-NOTES for sacrocolpopexy by beginners were all successfully completed. Conclusion: Both TV-NOTES and RV-NOTES appeared to be feasible and safe for sacrocolpopexy.
