transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES)

Transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is a minimally invasive surgical technique where doctors perform internal procedures through the vagina, avoiding external incisions. By using special instruments and a camera through the vaginal canal, surgeons access and treat structures inside the abdomen or pelvis. This approach reduces pain, scarring, and recovery time, as it leverages a natural body passageway. NOTES is often used for procedures like removing cysts or repairing organs, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional surgery while maintaining effectiveness.
