Excerpt
Since the introduction of laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (LVMR) by D’Hoore in 2004 for the treatment of rectal prolapse, several studies and meta-analyses have shown its favorable anatomical and functional outcomes in alleviating symptoms of obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) caused by rectal intussusception, rectocele and/or enterocele formation [

3]. Yet the high cost associated with a robotic assisted LVMR together with a missing benefit of the robotic approach in terms of outcome, as some publications suggested, prevents this technology from being adopted as a standard treatment [
