Transluminal surgery, also known as natural orifices endoluminal surgery, can be considered the most minimally invasive approach of gaining access to an organ. Although some approaches, such as transgastric or transvaginal cholecystectomy, have remained experimental, peroral endoscopic myotomy to treat achalasia and transanal total mesorectal excision to treat low rectal cancer have become accepted, safe, and feasible approaches by trained surgeons for selected patients. This article recapitulates the development of transluminal surgery from its experimental beginnings to the validated procedure it has become today.

To report the procedure of an alternative modified transvaginal repair technique (V-NOTES) and their outcomes in apical vesicovaginal fistula. Between January 2020 and January 2023, gynecological procedures resulted in the diagnosis of apical VVFs in 26 patients, 17 of whom had undergone transvaginal repair of apical vesicovaginal fistula via vaginal V-NOTES. Those patients were contacted and followed up.

This retrospective, comparative, multicenter study aimed to evaluate the real-world outcomes and predictors of failure of Gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) at 12 months in glaucoma patients. Predictors of failure of absolute success in bilateral cases (422 eyes of 308 patients) included pre-operative intraocular pressure (IOP; IRR = 1.02; p = 0.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate patency outcomes of arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) before and after using Duplex doppler ultrasonography (DUS) in preoperative mapping and surveillance of AVG.
Methods: In this single-centre, retrospective cohort study 212 patients receiving AVGs from January 2009 to December 2022 were included. In group 1, the creation of AVG as well as screening was based on physical examination alone.

Objectives: To investigate the feasibility and safety of Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (V-NOTES) panhysterectomy.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 75 patients who underwent panhysterectomy for hysteromyoma in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Tongxiang Maternal and Child Health Hospital; Department of Gynecology, The Affiliated Changzhou Second People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University and Department of Gynecology, The First Affiliated Hospital of USTC from June 2019 to June 2020. According to the operation mode, the patients were divided into two groups: the traditional multi-port laparoscopic surgery (MPLS) group (n = 45) and the Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (V-NOTES) group (n = 30).
Comparison of efficacy and safety between gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy and trabeculectomy for primary open-angle glaucoma treatment: a retrospective cohort study.

Department of Ophthalmology, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, Wenhua Xi Road 107, Jinan, 250012, Shandong, PR China.
Background: Trabeculectomy (TRAB) traditionally has been the gold-standard surgical treatment for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), while gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) is an emerging minimally invasive surgery used for the treatment of various open-angle glaucoma (OAG) types. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety between GATT and TRAB for the treatment of POAG.
Methods: This cohort study included eyes with POAG that underwent a single GATT (30 eyes) or TRAB (34 eyes).
