Abstract: | Background Laparoscopic surgery has dramatically improved surgical care of patients reducing postoperative pain, wound infection rate,
hospital stay, inability to work, risk of hernia, and cosmetic result. Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES)
is even less traumatic to the abdominal wall and might further improve minimal invasive surgery of patients, but might also
increase surgical risk when used by a transgastric or transcolonic approach with flexible endoscopes. Therefore we decided
to use a transvaginal approach using rigid laparoscopic instruments for cholecystectomies. |
