Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) right hemicolectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis for cecal cancer.

Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) for colorectal cancer utilizes transvaginal access for bowel mobilization, vascular pedicle ligation, oncological resection, and bowel anastomosis, along with subsequent transvaginal natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE), reducing or eliminating the need for transabdominal access. In this report, we describe the technique of vNOTES right hemicolectomy for cecal cancer, with intracorporeal anastomosis and transvaginal NOSE, including a step-by-step operative video. The patient was a 59-year-old Chinese female (body mass index 32.

Laparoscopic D3 right hemicolectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis.

Complete mesocolic excision (CME) with D3 lymphadenectomy for colon cancer has been shown to improve overall as well as disease-free survival compared to conventional right hemicolectomy. Performing a laparoscopic CME/D3 right hemicolectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis (ICA) can be technically demanding even for experienced operators. Here, we present a systematic, standardized approach to the surgery.
