N2 - Introduction: To review the postrobotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RASC) course of women admitted for 23 hours post-RASC and identify events requiring intensive medical care or potentially leading to deleterious outcome or urgent readmission if that patient had same-day discharge (SDD) instead of observed overnight. Methods: Patients undergoing RASC from January to December 2020 at one institution were identified and relevant data were obtained via retrospective chart review. Patient exclusions: RASC start time after 12:00 PM, concurrent posterior colporrhaphy, rectopexy, or hysterectomy, or conversion to open. Results: Sixty-nine patients (median age 71 years old) met study criteria with majority American Society of Anesthesiologists class 2 (n = 46, 67%) or 3 (n = 22, 32%). Patient characteristics included prior abdominal surgeries (n = 58, 84%), prior hysterectomy/prolapse repair (n = 25, 37%), known allergy to pain medication (n = 25, 36%), and administration of a postoperative antiemetic (n = 37, 54%) or intra-/postoperative keterolac (n = 36, 52%). Median surgery length was 269 minutes. Postoperative events that may have resulted in urgent readmissions if they had SDD were observed in 6% of patients. In the 1st week post-RASC, there were no readmissions. Conclusions: In this limited quality assurance study, patients undergoing RASC experienced no major complications requiring intensive care. Postoperative events were almost entirely nausea and pain, with no readmissions within the 1st week.
