Abstract:

Transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) has flourished in the past decade. Compared with traditional laparoscopic surgery or laparoendoscopic single-site surgery, vNOTES has the advantages of scar-free, mild pain and fast recovery. Nowadays it is mostly used for gynecological benign diseases, and its application in gynecological malignant tumors is still controversial. Therefore, domestic and foreign scholars have made many beneficial attempts for the treatment of gynecological malignant tumors, initially confirming the feasibility of this operation. In this paper, the current situation, advantages, difficulties and technical skills of vNOTES surgery in gynecological malignant tumors are discussed.
