vNOTES chromopertubation: a new method for assessing tubal patency and peritubal anatomy.
Minim Invasive Ther Allied Technol
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- A retrospective study evaluated 12 women aged 29-38 with suspected tubal factor infertility who underwent vaginal natural orifice endoluminal surgery (vNOTES) to assess tubal patency and adnexal anatomy.
- The procedure had an average operative time of 39 minutes, with no need for conversions to more invasive surgeries, and all patients were discharged within 12 hours without complications.
- The study suggests that vNOTES could be a beneficial option, especially for patients with higher BMI or previous surgeries, due to its lower surgical risks and minimally invasive nature.
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effectiveness of high uterosacral ligament suspension (HUSLS) via vaginal-assisted natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) in patients with pelvic organ prolapse or those needing prevention after a hysterectomy.
- A total of 55 women participated, with significant improvements in prolapse measurements and a success rate of 96.4% over an average follow-up of 23.5 months.
- Complications were minimal, with only one case of bladder injury and a high patient satisfaction rate of 98.1%.*
Health-related quality of life following hysterectomy by vNOTES versus conventional laparoscopy.

Objective: To evaluate safety, efficacy, pre- and postoperative outcomes of vNOTES hysterectomy compared to conventional laparoscopic (CL) hysterectomy.
Material And Methods: This prospective study was conducted on patients who underwent CL or vNOTES hysterectomy for benign gynecological indications between January and July 2021. Sociodemographic, clinical, and surgical data were collected.
Objectives: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) significantly affects women's quality of life, occurring in 20-30% of females aged over 20 globally. With aging populations, demand for pelvic reconstructive surgery is rising. Patients seek anatomical restoration while preserving uterus and sexual function.

Method: This prospective cohort study included 41 low-risk pregnant women with fetus in singleton-vertex. The IU assessment to diagnose asynclitism was performed during labor at two specific steps, including the suspicion and/or diagnosis of labor arrest.
Purpose: The use of transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) as the first choice of surgical route for patients scheduled to undergo conventional laparoscopy is still being debated. We aimed to evaluate and compare the outcomes of the "vNOTES first" strategy in benign gynecological cases.
Methods: All benign gynecological surgeries were initiated using vNOTES during the study period, regardless of the difficulty.
Objective: To present coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) related maternal mortality in relation to Delta and Omicron waves and to investigate the role of lung ultrasound (LUS) in estimating mortality.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted in the obstetrics and gynecology clinic of a tertiary pandemic hospital between March 2020 and January 2022. The hospitalized pregnant women with COVID-19 diagnosis and maternal deaths were studied in relation with Delta and Omicron waves.
