Abstract:
Minimally invasive surgery is increasingly being applied in selected cases of ovarian borderline tumors and ovarian cancer. With the introduction of the da Vinci SP (SP) system, our institution began robot-assisted vNOTES (RAvNOTES) in 2023. This approach may overcome the limitations of conventional vNOTES, particularly limited triangulation (Lowenstein et al., 2020, Hurni et al., 2022, Hurni and Huber, 2023). We describe staging surgery for a suspected ovarian borderline tumor, performed using RAvNOTES.
