Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Gynecologic Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic surgery is a standard minimally invasive approach for various abdominal conditions.
  • Transvaginal access has been explored for specific gynecologic procedures.
  • Integrating transvaginal and laparoscopic techniques presents novel surgical possibilities.

Observation:

  • A huge submucosal gastric tumor was successfully enucleated laparoscopically and extracted via the vagina.
  • Laparoscopic partial rectal resection for endometriosis was performed with transvaginal manual assistance.
  • The transvaginal route was utilized as an access point to the abdominal cavity.

Findings:

  • The transvaginal approach is feasible for extracting large laparoscopic specimens, such as a gastric tumor.

  • Transvaginal assistance can facilitate complex laparoscopic procedures like rectal resection for endometriosis.
  • This combined approach demonstrates versatility in managing gastrointestinal conditions through a minimally invasive route.

    • Implications:

    • The vagina can serve as a valuable access point for laparoscopic surgery in female patients, particularly multiparous women.
    • This technique broadens the application of minimally invasive surgery for gastrointestinal diseases.
    • Further research may expand the utility of transvaginal-assisted laparoscopic surgery for diverse abdominal pathologies.
