Objective:

To evaluate the outcomes of robot-assisted anterior abdomino-vaginal mesh suspension (AAVMS) for managing stress urinary incontinence (SUI) associated with anterior compartment pelvic organ prolapse (POP).

Key Findings:
  • Operative time ranged from 50 to 90 minutes.
  • Urinary catheter removal occurred on postoperative day 3, with discharge on days 8–10.
  • At 6 months, 8/16 patients reported complete continence; this increased to 12/16 at 8 months and 15/16 at 12 months.
  • One patient had persistent SUI.
  • No intraoperative or postoperative complications or mesh-related adverse events were observed.
Interpretation:

Remove the entire section or rephrase to reflect only what is supported by the findings.

Limitations:
  • Small sample size of 16 patients.
  • Short follow-up duration of 12 months.
Conclusion:

Larger comparative studies with standardized objective endpoints are warranted.
