Our inventors have designed an instrument that addresses these issues along with the major challenges of performing a sacrocolpopexy procedure, particularly in suturing the Y-shaped mesh to a flat surface on the front of the vagina, and then accessing deep in the posterior cul-de-sac to suture the Y-shaped mesh in this area. This new device would be the first commercially available vaginal port that enables both removal of abdominal/pelvic masses and allows instruments into the peritoneal cavity.

Researchers at the University of South Florida have developed a device that can enable both the removal of abdominal pelvic masses and the introduction of instruments into the peritoneal cavity.
