Abstract |
Ectopic pregnancy is a frequent and life-threatening risk of childbearing. Its management represents a mainstay of emergency gynecological surgery, and laparoscopy is the surgical gold standard technique. The technique of transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (V-NOTES) for the management of ectopic pregnancy is presented herein. The procedure is illustrated by an instructive video article that standardizes the essential steps to make the technique ergonomic and easy to perform (step-by-step explanations). This surgical technique allows to consider vaginal salpingectomy using a combined cœlio-vaginal approach.
After a posterior colpotomy, an Alexis retractor was inserted in the pouch of Douglas followed by the placement of a dedicated platform on which three trocars were fixed. Pneumoperitoneum was then achieved. Once the diagnosis of ruptured tubal ectopic pregnancy was established, a salpingectomy was performed.
As a minimally invasive approach, this procedure has high patient acceptance and seems to improve favorable clinical outcomes.
