Comprehensive review highlights vNOTES benefits, including reduced postoperative pain and hospital stays in gynecologic patients.
Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is an emerging minimally invasive technique that combines natural orifice access with endoscopic visualization and instrumentation. Minimally invasive surgery has revolutionized gynecologic practice by reducing postoperative morbidity and enhancing recovery. vNOTES represents a novel advancement, utilizing the vaginal route to access the peritoneal cavity without abdominal incisions. This technique offers potential benefits including scarless surgery, decreased postoperative pain, and shortened hospital stays.
