Case description

This material demonstrates a feasibility of transvaginal notes-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy. Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is a surgical modality that uses empty organs as an access to the peritoneal cavity, avoiding skin incisions. However, available endoscopes have several limitations if used in the peritoneal cavity. If we combine NOTES with the conventional laparoscopic approach, a hybrid technique is obtained. This new technique may increase safety and overcome the current technical problems, while maintaining most of the advantages of NOTES.
