Abstract
Study Objective:

To describe techniques for transvaginal laparoscopy for benign and malignant pathology cases. Tools and instrumentation with be described along with our experience with various transvaginal surgical techniques.

Design:

Technique described using video.
 

Setting:

Urban general hospital in Japan.
 

Patients or Participants:

 
Data on
305
cases who underwent our transvaginal laparoscopic surgery which include hysterectomy, myomectomy, retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy and adnexectomy will be presented. Case studies of techniques will be presented from these cases.
 

Interventions:

A number of variations of transvaginal laparoscopic surgery will be presented. Cases will show the use of different surgical instruments as well as the use of a transvaginal platform. Techniques will be described step-wise.

Measurements and Main Results:

The recovery rate of patients was quick and no patient required a conversion to laparotomy. No cases suffered from post-operative severe complications or blood transfusion.

Conclusion:

Transvaginal laparoscopic surgery is a patient friendly alternative for selected cases. Although such ultra-minimally invasive techniques can be challenging, the almost scarless result makes it attractive to patients.
