- This study investigated the safety and long-term effects of transvaginal NOTES surgery, specifically looking at risks and complications.
- A total of 222 procedures were performed, mainly cholecystectomies, with a few complications reported but overall successful outcomes.
- Follow-up assessments indicated that patients experienced no significant pain, dyspareunia, or sexual dysfunction, suggesting the transvaginal route is a viable surgical option.
