ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) has emerged as a minimally invasive approach. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and surgical outcomes of the vNOTES method and compare it with conventional laparoscopy (CL) in gynecological emergency cases. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted to compare vNOTES with CL regarding pre-/intra-/postoperative outcomes. The women who were operated on for emergency indications such as ectopic pregnancy, ovarian torsion, ovarian cyst rupture and acute abdominal pain were evaluated. Patients' age, gravidity, parity, medical/surgical history, height, weight, blood pressure, heart rate, pre-/postoperative hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, the quantity of aspirated hemoperitoneum, visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores six and 12 h postoperatively, duration of surgery and hospital stay were recorded. RESULTS: The study was conducted with 90 women. Sixty of them underwent CL, while 30 women had vNOTES. The vNOTES group had a significantly shorter duration of surgery -28.5 min (15-48 min) vs. 77 min (29-155 min), respectively, p < .001), shorter hospital stay - 32 h (11-125 h) vs. 38 h (12-201 h), respectively, p = .007), lower VAS scores after 6 h - 5 (4-7) vs. 6 (2-8), respectively, p < .001), and after 12 h - 2 (1-3) vs. 2 (1-5), respectively, p < .001) and a lower dose of postoperative analgesic administration - 2 (2-3) vs. 3 (1-5), respectively, p < .001) than the CL group. CONCLUSION: vNOTES surgeries can be considered an alternative technique to CL by providing shorter surgery duration, lower postoperative pain scores, shorter hospital stays and better cosmetic outcomes.

ABSTRACT

AIM: This study aimed to compare the surgical outcomes of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) and vaginally assisted natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) hysterectomy procedures in obese patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 83 obese women (BMI > 30 kg/m2) who underwent TLH (35 patients) or vNOTES hysterectomy (48 patients) for benign gynecological indications. The duration of surgery, intra/postoperative complications, intra- and postoperative hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) levels, hospital stay, Visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at the postoperative 6th and 24th hours of the patients were compared. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between TLH and vNOTES groups regarding age (49 vs. 52 years, p = 0.35), parity (2 vs. 3, p = 0.17), and uterine weight (290 vs. 230 g., p = 0.13) The median BMI was 31.6 kg/m2 (30-42.2 kg/m2) in the TLH group and 31.9 kg/m2 (30-54.6 kg/m2) in the vNOTES group (p = 0.31). The vNOTES hysterectomy group had significantly shorter durations of surgery (67.5 vs. 136 min) and postoperative hospitalization than the TLH group (p < 0.05 for all comparisons). Besides, the 6th-hour (6 vs. 7, p = 0.02) and 24th-hour (4 vs. 3, p < 0.001) VAS scores were significantly lower in the vNOTES hysterectomy group. The propensity-matched group analysis showed significantly lower 6th-hour and 24th-hour VAS scores and shorter duration of surgery (80 vs. 135 min, p < 0.001) in the vNOTES hysterectomy group than the TLH group. CONCLUSION: vNOTES is a feasible technique in obese women who require a hysterectomy and provides favorable outcomes considering the shorter duration of surgery and postoperative hospitalization and lower pain scores.
