N2  - CONCLUSION: The risk of unanticipated uterine pathologic findings during minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy to treat pelvic organ prolapse is low. Copyright  2014 AAGL. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved; DESIGN: Retrospective case series (Canadian Task Force classification III); INTERVENTIONS: Concurrent hysterectomy and minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy; MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: We measured the incidence of clinically important uterine disease at minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy. A total of 324 women underwent concurrent hysterectomy and minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy. Their mean age was 56.1 years, and body mass index was 26.9 kg/m(2). Sixty-four percent were postmenopausal. Only 3 patients (0.92%) had abnormal uterine pathologic findings. No significant differences were noted in age, body mass index, or parity between the women with normal and abnormal uterine pathologic findings. None of the 3 women reported abnormal uterine bleeding before surgery. All lesions were premalignant and focal. No invasive carcinomas were identified. No patients required further follow-up or treatment of abnormal pathologic findings; PATIENTS: Women undergoing laparoscopic or robotically assisted sacrocolpopexy with hysterectomy; SETTING: Four institutions in the United States; STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of unanticipated uterine pathologic findings in women undergoing hysterectomy concomitant with minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy
