Minimally invasive surgery

V-NOTES (Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery) is a minimally invasive gynecological surgery technique that allows certain procedures to be performed without visible scarring. By using the natural vaginal orifice to insert instruments, this approach reduces post-operative pain, speeds recovery and limits complications.

Benefits of this technology

V-NOTES surgery combines the advantages of laparoscopy and vaginal surgery, offering a more comfortable alternative to traditional gynecological procedures. The hysterectomy is performed by minimally invasive surgery. 

Thanks to this technique, the absence of an abdominal scar improves aesthetics and reduces the risk of post-operative complications. Recovery is faster, with hospitalization often reduced to one day or performed on an outpatient basis. In addition, post-surgical pain is significantly reduced, enabling patients to return to their daily activities in less time.

The V-NOTES is mainly used for procedures such as hysterectomy, salpingectomy or oophorectomy. Its less invasive approach enables gentler management, with a rapid return to normal life, while guaranteeing efficacy and safety.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

You benefit from individualized care before, during and after the procedure. We take the time to assess whether the V-NOTES technique is right for you, and explain the procedure in detail. After the operation, medical follow-up ensures optimal recovery and answers any questions you may have.

Our facilities are equipped with the latest technology to ensure precise, comfortable operations.
