Scarless surgery (without incisions) – vNOTES surgery – to whom can it be applied?

Scarless (Incisionless) Surgery – vNOTES Surgery is surgery performed vaginally using laparoscopic instruments without making any incisions on the abdominal wall. It is associated with less post-operative pain compared to classical laparoscopy and open surgeries due to the absence of an incision in the abdominal wall, shorter hospital stay, return to daily activities in a shorter time, and better cosmetic results due to the absence of an incision.

So, to whom can this surgery be applied?

It can be applied to patients who have irregular menstrual bleeding, persistent groin pain, frequent urination, constipation, and pain during intercourse due to myomas and require hysterectomy.

Apart from this, it can be used in the surgical treatment of ovarian cysts other than chocolate cysts and when ovaries need to be removed.

Patients who do not want to have children, who do not want to use IUDs or birth control pills, or who are not medically suitable for these treatments, take an average of 15 minutes. They are candidates for tubal ligation surgery with vNOTES Surgery, which lasts long and offers the opportunity to be discharged on the same day.

In recent studies, the use of patches in patients with uterine prolapse is not recommended due to some risks. Instead, sling operations using natural tissues are increasingly preferred around the world. Correcting the prolapse using natural tissues with vNOTES Surgery is one of the most ideal treatment approaches for patients with uterine prolapse.
