Comparative Analysis of Three Surgical Techniques for Retroperitoneal Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES)
To evaluate the safety, efficacy, advantages, and limitations of three surgical approaches for retroperitoneal vNOTES in gynecological procedures.
Key Findings:
89 patients underwent vNOTES retroperitoneal surgery with varying approaches: 13 anterior, 16 lateral, and 60 posterior.
Anterior fornix used for pelvic organ prolapse, lateral for lymphadenectomy, and posterior for sacrocolpopexy and SSLF.
All procedures completed safely with no mesh exposure; complications recorded as Grade I (23.08% for anterior, 25.00% for lateral, 30.77% for posterior) and Grade II.
Interpretation:
Retroperitoneal vNOTES is a safe and feasible surgical approach adaptable for various gynecological procedures, as evidenced by the successful outcomes.
Limitations:
Retrospective design may introduce bias affecting the reliability of the findings.
Limited sample size for some approaches may not provide a comprehensive comparison.
Conclusion:
Different vaginal fornix incisions in retroperitoneal vNOTES can be tailored for a range of surgical procedures, demonstrating safety and efficacy, which is significant for advancing minimally invasive gynecological surgery.
