Transvaginal Adhesiolysis Using Laparoscopic Instruments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intra-abdominal adhesions are a common complication of abdominal surgery and can lead to further complications including bowel obstruction, infertility, and pain. We describe a novel technique of performing transvaginal laparoscopic lysis of adhesions following a total vaginal hysterectomy in a 41-year-old woman with periumbilical pain and menorrhagia. This natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgical procedure was tolerated well, did not add considerable overall operating time, and did not require extensive additional training. The patient reported no periumbilical pain at 1 year.

BACKGROUND Among the different organs used for NOTES (natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery) technique, the transvaginal approach may be the optimal choice because of a simple and secure closure of colpotomy site. Pure and hybrid NOTES transvaginal operations were routinely performed via transperitoneal access. In this study, we investigate the safety and feasibility of pure retroperi...

BACKGROUND Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) involves the introduction of instruments through a natural orifice into the peritoneal cavity to perform surgical interventions. The vagina is the most widely used approach to NOTES. We report the utilization of the vaginal opening at the time of vaginal hysterectomy as a natural orifice for laparoscopic appendectomy.

Deep-infiltrating endometriosis may affect the vagina, the rectum, and the cervicoisthmic part of the uterus, resulting in severe pain, particularly dyschezia, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and diminished quality of life. Advanced surgical techniques, such as laparoscopic-assisted anterior rectum resection, are recognized as safe and effective therapeutic approaches. In some cases, a laparotomy or...
متن کاملHybrid Transvaginal NOTES and Mini-Laparoscopic Colectomy: Benefit Through Synergy
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Hybrid-natural orifice surgery combines the advantages of traditional transabdominal laparoscopic surgery, while limiting surgical trauma to the abdominal wall. Among various routes of intra-abdominal access, the transvaginal method is most appealing because of its utility and proven safety. We describe a series of 4 colonic resections performed with this approach, com...
