Hysterectomy is a frequent gynecological surgical technique. With the extensive application of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery, the feasibility of robot-assisted transvaginal natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (v-NOTES) has…

BACKGROUND: To assess and compare the efficiency and outcomes between prone split-leg position and lithotomy position in posterior uterine myomectomy by transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES). METHODS: 33 pat…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the perioperative outcomes of single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) and dual-port laparoscopic myomectomy in patients with solitary uterine fibroids. METHODS: This retrospective observational st…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcomes of hysterectomy performed via traditional inpatient procedure versus day-care procedure with a focus on surgical time, post-operative recovery, costs, and patient satisfaction, using propensity score match…

BACKGROUND: Gasless transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (G-vNOTES) can avoid complications related to pneumoperitoneum, but there is limited research on G-vNOTES. Here, we aimed to compare the hemodynamic profiles a…

PURPOSE: Ovarian endometriosis, a prevalent condition in reproductive-age women, causes dysmenorrhea and infertility, significantly impairing quality of life. To date, there is no systematic description of ovarian endometriosis in the liter…

BACKGROUND: Intramural pregnancy (IMP) is a subtype of ectopic pregnancy that can lead to life-threatening uterine rupture and severe hemorrhage. However, the clinical manifestations of IMP are nonspecific, making early clinical recognition…

Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) offers several distinct advantages, including an optimal cosmetic result, early resumption of flatus and a shorter hospital stay. This minimally invasive approach has been inc…

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) was characterized by endometrial fibrosis, leading primarily to hypomenorrhea, infertility and recurrent miscarriage. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is now recognized as a key factor in the development o…

The aim of the case control study was to compare surgical outcomes of transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) hysterectomy with the da Vinci surgical system (dVSS) and conventional vNOTES. A case control study …

This study aims to objectively assess the effect of three surgical approaches for posterior uterine fibroid resection: transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS), vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOT…

BACKGROUND: Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is an achievement in the field of minimally invasive surgery. However, the vantage point of vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) in gynecologica…

BACKGROUND: Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopy (vNOTES) is regarded as a challenging surgical technique to learn but is promising in reducing perioperative pain and significantly improves the cosmetic outcomes. Previous stu…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the surgical outcomes and identify the conversion risk factors of Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) in treating ovarian cyst. METHODS: This was a retrospective study…

OBJECTIVE: Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is widely recognized for its advantages, including reduced postoperative pain and the absence of visible scarring. However, the anatomical specificity required for …

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine the safety of Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) in terms of the Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) concept for tubal pregnancy surgery and provide a detailed process of vNO…

BACKGROUND: Advances in minimally invasive surgery and the development of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) have favored the spread of day-surgery programs. Even though Vaginal natural orifice transvaginal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) i…

BACKGROUND: Literature regarding the advantages of gasless vNOTES is insufficient. The aim of our study is to compare gasless vNOTES vs. traditional vNOTES on hemodynamic profiles and outcomes in patients with benign gynecological disease. …

OBJECTIVE: To assess the perioperative outcomes of vNOTES tubal surgeries and to identify predictors of surgical conversion. METHODS: A single-center retrospective cohort study was performed on 619 patients who underwent vNOTES tubal surge…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To describe the surgical technique and compare the operative outcomes of gasless and traditional robot-assisted transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (GR-vNOTES vs. TR-vNOTES) in hysterectomy. METHOD…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify the risk factors for subchorionic hematoma (SCH) in the first trimester of in vitro fertilization (IVF) twin pregnancies and investigate the impact of SCH on pregnancy outcomes. STUDY DESIGN: A prosp…

INTRODUCTION: Although previous studies have shown that vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) has the advantages of causing less pain, faster recovery, and better concealment of surgical incisions, which aligns wi…

Objective: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) affects a large proportion of adult women, but the pathogenesis of POP remains unclear. The increase in global population aging will impose a substantial medical burden. Herein, we aimed to explore the…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the learning curve of transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic hysterectomy (tVNOTEH) when using a standard operating procedure (SOP). METHODS: Seventy-nine patients were treated with tVNOTEH by a sing…

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to determine whether infertile couples who are carriers of chromosomal abnormalities have distinct cumulative clinical pregnancy and cumulative live birth rates among patients undergoing assisted reprodu…
