Introduction And Hypothesis: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP), the descent of one or more pelvic organs, occurs in an estimated 40 to 60% of parous women. Conventional transvaginal surgery for POP has been plagued with high failure rates. The purpose was to determine the safety and feasibility of robotic transvaginal POP surgery.
Methods: The da Vinci Surgical Robot, SI was used in the POP surgical procedures. There were two cadavers (aged 18 and 78 years of age; BMI 17.2 and 19.2 respectively). POP-Q scores before intervention were stage 1 for both cadavers.
Results: The visualization of anatomical landmarks and the placement of sutures at these locations were successful.
Conclusion: Robotic transvaginal POP is a feasible option for POP surgery. Further studies are warranted to determine the role of robotic transvaginal POP repair.

Article Synopsis
- The rise of uterine isthmocele, tied to increasing cesarean section rates, affects about 60% of women with cesarean histories, leading to its classification as cesarean scar disorder (CSD).
- Diagnosis is achievable through various imaging techniques, and management may involve either pharmacological or surgical options.
- Surgical treatments, such as hysteroscopic resection, laparoscopic, and vaginal methods, vary in effectiveness and complications, with hysteroscopic treatment being the safest, although decisions should be tailored to individual patient factors, particularly residual myometrial thickness (RMT).

Objective: Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is utilised for gynecological procedures globally, however evidence to support its application aside from hysterectomy is lacking. A systematic review to determine feasibility and safety profile of vNOTES for benign gynaecology was conducted.
Data Sources: A literature search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, SCOPUS, and CENTRAL was conducted, including all types of studies reporting vNOTES for gynecological indications.

Article Synopsis
- - A rare case of right interstitial pregnancy occurred in a 32-year-old woman who had previously undergone a salpingo-oophorectomy, leading to an emergency room visit due to suspected ectopic pregnancy.
- - After various diagnostic procedures, including ultrasound and hysteroscopy, the patient underwent a successful robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery to remove the interstitial pregnancy while preserving her fertility.
- - The exact cause of this rare pregnancy is unclear, but it may involve fertilization in the intact tube and possible changes in the remaining tubal tissue that allowed the oocyte to implant.
