Laparoscopy (vNOTES)
Laparoscopy is one of the minimally invasive surgical techniques that allows the examination of abdominal organs and the performance of necessary surgical procedures through small incisions with the help of a camera. As an advancement to traditional laparoscopy, the vNOTES (vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery) technique is an innovative laparoscopic method performed entirely through the vaginal route, without any incisions in the abdominal area.
The vNOTES technique is especially used in gynecological surgeries such as hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), fallopian tube, and ovarian surgeries. Compared to traditional methods, it offers significant advantages for patients, including less pain, faster recovery, and no scarring on the abdominal area.
During the procedure, access to the abdominal cavity is achieved through the vaginal route, and detailed visualization is provided with the help of a camera. Once the necessary surgical procedures are completed, the patient can be discharged shortly and return to daily life quickly. This technique stands out especially for its shortened recovery time and reduced risk of infection.
Thus, vNOTES is increasingly preferred in the field of gynecology as a modern surgical alternative that prioritizes patient comfort, offers scar-free results, and ensures rapid recovery.
