Background: We previously reported outcome after transvaginal cholecystectomy (TVC) from two cohort studies and a randomized controlled trial. We now present a pooled analysis of postoperative pain scores.
Design: Single-center data of postoperative pain after TVC from a level II hospital between October 2007 and June 2012.
Aim: Recent investigations have shown improved patient reported outcome after preservation of the inferior mesenteric artery in sigmoid resection for diverticular disease. We report on our experience with preservation of the superior rectal artery (SRA).
Methods: This is an observational single center study in a high-volume, level II inner city hospital from 2006 to 2008.
Objective: This investigation uses the comprehensive complication index (CCI) to compare complications after natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) procedures.
Background: NOTES procedures are developed to miniaturize surgical trauma. NOTES publications inconsistently report complications.
Background: Transvaginal cholecystectomy (TVC) is regarded as a model operation in the newly developed field of natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). Randomized, controlled trials to assess TVC as a surgical strategy are largely missing.
Materials And Methods: The study was a double blind, randomized, controlled, single center trial in female patients > 18 years with symptomatic cholecystolithiasis comparing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC) and TVC.
Background: Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) has the potential to reduce postoperative pain. We compared postoperative pain in the hybrid NOTES procedure transvaginal video-assisted cholecystectomy (TVC) with standard conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC).
Design: Single-center, double-blind, randomized controlled trial in a level II hospital between June 2008 and June 2012.
