Abstract

Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is a new approach used in various surgical disciplines. In this article we describe our experience of performing transvaginal surgeries vNOTES.

Objective: To describe and illustrate a standardized approach to vNOTES hysterectomy.

Materials and methods: A total of 31 patients aged 48 to 59 years old underwent vNOTES surgery. The study was carried out on the basis of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Results: Hysterectomy with tubal removal was performed in 21 cases, hysterectomy with unilateral salpingoophorectomy was done in 7 cases, hysterectomy and bilateral salpingoophorectomy were performed in 3 cases. All the patients had less severe pain syndrome in the postoperative period: the average value of pain intensity according to the VAS scale after 24 hours was 2.4; the average duration of vNOTES surgery was 96 minutes (ranging from 70 to 130 minutes). The advantages of vNOTES compared to traditional laparoscopic approaches are reduction of postoperative pain, early activation, faster recovery of patients after surgery, shorter hospital stay, improved cosmetic effect and reduced risk of intraoperative injuries to internal organs.

Conclusion: Transluminal endoscopic surgery vNOTES combines good access and visualization provided by endoscopy, maximum cosmetic effect, and can be considered as an alternative to other minimally invasive procedures. This method is preferable for obese patients, as well as for patients who refuse traditional laparoscopy wishing to obtain aesthetic and cosmetic results.
