Back pain that is associated with lumbar spine pathology is a growing issue in the athlete population.

Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) is a novel minimal invasive technique which employs the vaginal orifice for surgical access, after which endoscopic instruments are introduced, thus obviating the need for any external skin incisions. This approach has gained traction as it is associated with reduced morbidity, improved cosmesis, lower pain scores and decreased length of hospital stay, with no increase in adverse events, when compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery. Initially limited to hysterectomy and adnexectomy, its role has now expanded to include indications such as urogynaecology, oncology and fertility.
