Introduction and hypothesis: To prospectively evaluate the use of a particular polypropylene Y mesh for robotic sacrocolpopexy. Methods: This was a prospective study of 120 patients who underwent robotic sacrocolpopexy. We compared preoperative and 12-month postoperative objective and subjective assessments via the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q), the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory, Short Form 20 (PFDI-20); the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire, Short Form 7 (PFIQ-7); and the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire 12 (PISQ-12). Objective 'anatomical success' was defined as POP-Q stage 0 or 1 at all postoperative intervals. We further defined 'clinical cure' by simultaneously considering POP-Q points …
