Safety and efficacy of transvaginal natural orifice endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) for gynecologic procedures in the elderly: A case series of 119 consecutive patients
Our study confirms the feasibility and safety of vNOTES in elderly patients. However, increased number of concomitant procedures seems to correlate with higher complication rates, especially in patients with a high ASA score and high BMI. These findings offer valuable data for preoperative discussions with elderly patients.
