INTRODUCTION: Adnexal surgery is one of the most common surgeries performed in women. Minimally invasive methods are on the rise globally as they have been shown to decrease surgical morbidity compared with abdominal surgery. Adnexal surger…

INTRODUCTION: Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) is a technique combining vaginal entrance to the abdomen with endoscopic overview. Previous studies have shown that vNOTES decreases operating time, hospitalizat…

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to develop and validate a novel model for predicting complications in minimally invasive hysterectomy and to define a standardized classification system, the Hysterectomy Complication Classes (HCCs). DE…

OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors for dispensed opioid prescriptions after benign hysterectomy. DESIGN: A nationwide register-based cohort study including 50,601 hysterectomies with complete data from the Swedish National Quality Registe…

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the impact of uterine size on surgical outcomes in vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) hysterectomy and compared perioperative outcomes with conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy…

BACKGROUND: Vaginal hysterectomy (VH) rate is declining despite being considered as the optimal minimally invasive option for hysterectomy with reduced operative time and length of stay compared with laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH). Vaginal …

INTRODUCTION: Extrauterine pregnancy (EP), represents a significant challenge in reproductive medicine, manifesting in approximately 2% of all pregnancies, primarily implanting within the fallopian tubes (95%). Surgery remains a cornerstone…

INTRODUCTION: The rate of vaginal hysterectomies is declining globally. We investigated surgical techniques, outcomes, and costs in a large national cohort of benign hysterectomies with prerequisites for vaginal surgery. MATERIAL AND METHO…

INTRODUCTION: Hysterectomy is one of the most common surgeries performed in women. Minimally invasive methods are on the rise globally as they have been shown to decrease surgical morbidity compared with abdominal hysterectomy. Hysterectomy…

Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is a novel technique for minimally invasive gynecological surgery. Adequate training and standardization are key elements to patient safety and quality of care. Based on consen…

OBJECTIVES: The vaginal surgical approach has not become the standard of care, despite its advantages. The Hominis™ Surgical System is a humanoid shaped robot-assisted system that was designed specifically for robotic vaginal natural orific…

INTRODUCTION: Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) uses natural orifices to access the cavities of the human body to perform surgical interventions. NOTES limits the magnitude of surgical trauma and potentially reduces po…

INTRODUCTION: Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) uses natural body orifices to access the cavities of the human body to perform surgery. NOTES limits the magnitude of surgical trauma and has the potential to reduce post…

AIMS: To report on our anatomic and electrophysiologic findings about the sacral nerve roots and the pelvic splanchnic nerves during laparoscopic pelvic surgery. METHODS: The pelvic splanchnic nerves and the sacral nerve roots were dissect…

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to report on the feasibility of laparoscopic neurolysis of the plexus sacralis and the sciatic nerve in deep endometriotic infiltration of the lateral pelvic wall. METHODS: A transperitoneal approach to…
