Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Transvaginal cholecystectomy research drives development of natural orifice surgery techniques.
  • This study introduces a hybrid approach using flexible endoscopes, rigid instruments, and percutaneous needles.
  • Exploration of novel surgical pathways for gallbladder removal is ongoing.

Observation:

  • A 26-year-old female patient with cholelithiasis underwent a single-port culdolaparoscopy cholecystectomy.
  • The surgery utilized a single 16 mm transvaginal port with specialized instruments including a gastroscope and 5 mm laparoscopic tools.
  • Percutaneous reins and a hook needle were employed in the procedure.

Findings:

  • The patient was discharged 24 hours post-surgery, a standard recovery time for the hospital.

  • The procedure resulted in no reported pain or visible abdominal scars.
  • Successful gallbladder removal was achieved using the described transvaginal approach.

    • Implications:

    • Single transvaginal port cholecystectomy is a feasible option for select patients.
    • This technique eliminates the need for abdominal port assistance, reducing invasiveness.
    • Further research into natural orifice surgery techniques can enhance patient outcomes and cosmesis.
