Pregnancy Outcome after Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery, a First Retrospective Observational Cohort Study

Conclusions: This is the first study describing pregnancy outcome after fertility-preserving vNOTES procedures. vNOTES did not affect the mode of delivery or cause pregnancy-related complications. vNOTES did not increase the risk of extensive perineal tears during vaginal delivery. These preliminary data show no adverse events when vNOTES is performed in women of reproductive age. Posterior colpotomy as performed in all vNOTES procedures is by itself not an indication for an elective Caesarean section.Gynecol Obstet Invest
