We present two cases of patients with body mass index (BMI) >50 undergoing transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) hysterectomy for gynecological indications. Case 1 involves a 52‐year‐old woman with post‐menopausal bleeding and suspicion of ovarian torsion, while case 2 describes a patient with newly diagnosed endometrial adenocarcinoma. Both cases highlight the feasibility and challenges of vNOTES in this patient population. To date, this is the first paper to describe the use of vNOTES in patients of Asian ethnicity, with BMI >50.
