Cosmesis and Body Image After Robotic Sacrocolpopexy.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisSatisfaction of surgical scars after robotic sacrocolpopexy have not yet been explored.
objectiveTo determine differences in patient perception of body image and cosmesis following single port (SP) versus traditional multiport (TMP) robotic sacrocolpopexy.
methodsWe performed a prospective cohort study at a single tertiary care center of women undergoing robotic sacrocolpopexy between September 2023 and December 2024. Women undergoing SP or TMP robotic sacrocolpopexy for prolapse were included. At 3 months after surgery, participants completed the Body Image Questionnaire (BIQ). The BIQ is a 10-item survey which includes a body image, cosmetic, and self-confidence scale used to assess a patient's perception of body image and cosmesis after surgery. Low scores on the body image scale and high scores on the cosmetic indicated higher patient satisfaction. Changes in preoperative and postoperative self-confidence scores were calculated. A positive change in scores was associated with higher self-confidence after surgery.
resultsOne hundred fourteen participants underwent robotic sacrocolpopexy: 63 (45%) SP and 77 (55%) TMP robot. Median (range) body image scale and cosmetic scale scores for the entire cohort were 5 (5-16) and 20 (5-24), respectively. Median preoperative and postoperative self-confidence scores were 8 (0-10) and 8 (2-10), respectively. There were no significant differences in total body image scale (p = 0.55) and cosmetic scale (p = 0.17) scores between groups. Change in self-confidence score after surgery was also similar (p = 0.14).
conclusionsWomen were highly satisfied with their body image and cosmesis of surgical scars after robotic sacrocolpopexy without significant differences between SP and TMP approaches.
