Implementation of vNOTES gynecological surgery

Overview

Medical facilities in San Marino and Turkey have reported the successful implementation of vNOTES (vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery). This minimally invasive technique allows surgeons to access the abdominal cavity through the vaginal route, avoiding external abdominal incisions.

In San Marino, the Istituto per la Sicurezza Sociale at the State Hospital has begun using the method for procedures such as hysterectomies and surgeries involving the ovaries and fallopian tubes. Dr. Antonino Lo Re, Director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Unit, noted that early patients were discharged within 24 hours.

Similarly, Eskişehir City Hospital in Turkey performed its first V-NOTES procedure on a patient with prolonged bleeding. The surgical team utilized the technique to maximize patient comfort and accelerate recovery without the need for traditional abdominal incisions or trocars.
