UPS provides mesh-free midline uterus suspension using a single non-absorbable suture to attach the anterior cervix to the lateral part of the iliopectineal ligament. The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to analyze the short-term efficacy, perioperative complication rate, and overall patient acceptance of the new UPS surgical concept.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Forty-seven patients with POP-Q stage 2\u20134 who underwent robotic UPS between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2021 were included in the study. Patient data were taken retrospectively from the patient files. Treatment success was the primary endpoint, measured both objectively using a defined composite endpoint and subjectively according to patients\u2019 acceptance 3\u20136\u00a0months after surgery during a follow-up examination.

No complications or conversions occurred. Mean operation time for isolated UPS was 46.5\u00a0min (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200933 patients). UPS can be easily combined with additional surgical procedures for repair of remaining pelvic floor defects, incontinence surgery or other indications.
