  • Title: vNOTES hysterectomy using the lateral window technique in case of a ventrofixed uterus following previous cesarean sections: A video article.
    Author: Géry S, Gromez A, Thoumas JB, Crochet P, Braund S.

    Abstract:
    vNOTES uses the vagina as the surgical channel for endoscopy and achieves improved cosmesis compared to conventional laparoscopy as there are no abdominal incisions. Ventrofixation of the uterus to the abdominal wall following previous cesarean sections further adds to the surgeon's concern of bladder injury. In such cases, a modification of the technique is proposed: introducing the vNOTES port first, before the opening of the vesico-uterine peritoneal folds, thus carried out under endoscopic view. Medial anterior vesico-uterine adhesions are identified and circumscribed by creating a lateral window in the broad ligament on both sides. This allows the cutting of adhesions under endoscopic view to minimize the risk of bladder injuries. The aim of this technical note is to present this modification of the surgical technique for vNOTES hysterectomy in case of ventrofixed uterus.
