Per-oral endoscopic salpingo-oophorectomy (POESY) in humans: a prospective clinical feasibility study

ConclusionOur study demonstrates the feasibility of the transgastric access to the pelvis. The gastroscope provided excellent optical control and good tissue preparation. Therefore, we conclude that pure NOTES procedures using the transgastric access to the adnexa are feasible. An increasing role of transgastric procedures for diseases in the pelvic region can be expected in particular if new endoscopic platforms with better means of instrumentation and tissue management become available.
