This study demonstrates a novel technique for transvaginal endoscopic oophorectomy performed concurrently with vaginal hysterectomy. This minimally invasive approach successfully removed ovaries and fallopian tubes using vaginal access without abdominal insufflation.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Vaginal hysterectomy is a common gynecological procedure.
  • Oophorectomy is often performed concurrently with hysterectomy.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are sought to reduce surgical morbidity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel technique for transvaginal endoscopic oophorectomy.
  • To evaluate the feasibility of performing oophorectomy during vaginal hysterectomy using endoscopic instruments inserted transvaginally.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of this combined procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Four women underwent combined transvaginal endoscopic oophorectomy and vaginal hysterectomy.
  • Adnexal visualization was achieved using a laparoscope inserted through the upper vagina.

  • Standard laparoscopic instruments were introduced transvaginally for bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy or oophorectomy.
  • Hemostasis was managed with Endoloop sutures and bipolar electrocoagulation without pneumoperitoneum.

    • Main Results:

    • The procedure was successfully completed in all four patients.
    • Transvaginal endoscopic visualization of the adnexa was effective.
    • Standard laparoscopic instruments facilitated complete oophorectomy/salpingo-oophorectomy via the vaginal route.
    • Hemostasis was adequately achieved using the specified techniques.

    Conclusions:

    • Transvaginal endoscopic oophorectomy is a feasible and effective adjunct to vaginal hysterectomy.
    • This technique offers a minimally invasive option for adnexal removal.
    • Further research may explore broader applications and long-term outcomes of this approach.
