In this report, we describe two cases of diaphragmatic endometriosis with concurrent hepatorenal recess peritoneal involvement managed using robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery with the da Vinci Xi platform. In both patients, diaphragmati…

OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the feasibility and mid-term outcomes of Robotic single-port single-incision laparoscopic surgery (RSP-SILS) for endometriosis management. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 50 adult women with end…

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to assess the surgical outcomes and learning curve of robotic single-port vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RSP-vNOTES) for hysterectomy in benign gynecologic conditions. MATERIALS AND METH…

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to explore the feasibility and safety of robotic single port vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RSP-vNOTES) hysterectomy when compared with traditional vaginal natural orifice translumina…

Identifying the ureters in patients with advanced endometriosis and severe pelvic adhesive disease can be challenging. Adhesiolysis along the deformed pelvic sidewall may increase the risk of prolonged operative time and incidental ureteral…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the time to place temporary bilateral stents with indocyanine green (ICG) injection, time to intra-operative identification of bilateral ureters - with and without the use of ICG, and number of times for ICG …

Objectives: To explore the feasibility and surgical outcomes of robot-assisted vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RA-vNOTES) for women suffering from gynecologic disease. Methods: We performed an observational study re…

OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the feasibility and short-term outcomes of Robot-Assisted Single Port vaginal NOTES (RSP-vNOTES) for total hysterectomy, with or without endometriosis resection for all stages. DESIGN: Retrospective case series. …

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To show feasibility and techniques used to perform a total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, endometriosis resection, and ovarian reconstruction in a patient with a frozen pelvis secondary to a history of ruptured tubo…

Laparoscopy has advanced over the last three decades with residency training programs focusing on trans-abdominal laparoscopic techniques whether conventional or robotic. Despite attempts over many years to adopt vaginal surgery as the pref…

Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) has become popular since its inception in 2012, offering advantages by combining vaginal surgery principles with laparoscopic instruments for procedures like hysterectomy …
