Short-term outcomes of pure transvaginal laparoscopic right colectomy: A novel surgery approach based on an Idea, Development, Exploration, Assessment, Long-term framework stage IIa study.

Background And Objectives: The application of pure natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) to intra-abdominal visceral resections remains limited due to the complexity of the dissection. This study aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic right colectomy using a purely transvaginal approach.

Methods: The data of 12 continuous patients with colon neoplasia who underwent transvaginal right colectomy from November 2018 to July 2020 were prospectively collected, and their perioperative events were recorded.
