Résumé
Transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) has been applied massively in the gynecological field in recent years. The aim of the current study is to present the surgical technique of vNOTES omentectomy and to evaluate the feasibility of this procedure. A case series study of the first 5 vNOTES omentectomy procedures performed for surgical staging of suspicious early stage ovarian cancer, at Rambam Health Care Campus (Israel) and Imelda Hospital (Belgium) between November 2018 and August 2019. Sociodemographic and clinical data were retrieved from patients' electronic charts. Primary points of interest included intra-operative bleeding, length of surgery, length of hospitalization, and surgical complications. The median age was 61 years (range 50-72), and the median BMI was 27 kg/m vNOTES is a feasible technique for omentectomy in early stage ovarian cancer, with low rates of complications and improved cosmetic results.
