Clinical data, peri- and postoperative outcomes, and follow-ups at 8 weeks (FU2), 6 months (FU3), and 12 months (FU4) postoperatively were analysed. The primary endpoint was the recurrence at FU4, defined as aPOP-Q\u2009\u2265\u2009grade II. Secondary endpoints included quality of life using the German Pelvic Floor Questionnaire (GPFQ), International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire \u2013 Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF), and a study-specific questionnaire.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 90 women (median age 60 years [range 34\u201383], median body mass index 24.5\u00a0kg\/m\u00b2 [range 19.5\u201340.3]) underwent POP surgery between 2022 and 2024. Most procedures were robotic-assisted sacrocervicopexies (77.8%). Perioperative complications occurred in 4.4% (intraoperative) and 6.7% (postoperative) of cases. Median hospital stay was 5 days (range 3\u20139). Until FU4, no apical recurrences were observed; cumulatively, de-novo mesh erosion occurred in 4.4% of pts, with 2.2% requiring surgical revision. De-novo urinary incontinence was rare (5.5%). Subjective outcomes included scores of GPFQ and ICIQ-UI-SF, which improved significantly at all follow-up visits compared to preoperatively. 93% of pts were satisfied with the operation, 94% would choose it again, and 95% of pts would recommend this operation to a friend.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Mesh-assisted sacropexy was associated with high apical success rates and favourable patient-reported outcomes at 12 months.
