The article discusses surgical techniques for repairing rectal prolapse, specifically focusing on robotic mesh rectopexy using the Geneva technique. The text explains that there are various approaches to rectal prolapse repair, ranging from perineal approaches to transabdominal approaches. The article highlights the diversity of methods for transabdominal rectopexy and the lack of strong evidence to compare these techniques. It also mentions that minimally invasive rectopexy using robotics may improve patient outcomes compared to laparoscopy. The article provides a step-by-step description of the robotic mesh rectopexy procedure, including patient positioning, port insertion, laparoscopic exploration, docking of the surgical robot, dissection, mesh preparation and stitching, and peritoneum closure. The authors of the article are listed, and a conflict of interest statement is included. [Extracted from the article]
