What is vNOTES Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery?

vNOTES, or Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery, is an advanced minimally invasive surgical approach that allows gynecologic procedures to be performed entirely through the vaginal canal, without any abdominal incisions. Using endoscopic visualization and specialized instruments, surgery is completed through a natural opening, resulting in no visible scars and often less postoperative discomfort.
This technique can be used for select gynecologic procedures such as hysterectomy, ovarian cystectomy, salpingectomy, and treatment of certain pelvic conditions. Because vNOTES requires a high level of technical skill, careful patient selection, and advanced anatomical expertise, it is typically offered by surgeons with specialized training in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. Patients seeking the best vNOTES surgeon in Los Angeles often do so to minimize recovery time while maintaining surgical precision and safety.

Am I a Good Candidate for vNOTES Surgery?

Determining candidacy requires a personalized evaluation to ensure that vNOTES is both safe and appropriate for your specific anatomy and surgical goals.

vNOTES may be an excellent option for patients who qualify for vaginal-based minimally invasive surgery. You may be a good candidate if you:

What Happens During vNOTES Surgery?

Preparation

Before surgery, Dr. Sukrant Mehta performs a detailed evaluation, including a pelvic exam and imaging review when needed. Surgical planning focuses on choosing the safest minimally invasive approach based on your anatomy, condition, and prior surgical history.

Procedure

During vNOTES surgery, all instruments and the camera are introduced through the vaginal canal. Endoscopic visualization allows for precise dissection and removal or treatment of targeted structures without external incisions. The absence of abdominal entry points reduces tissue trauma while maintaining excellent surgical control.

After-Care

Most patients return home the same day or after a short observation period. Recovery is often quicker than traditional laparoscopic surgery, with many patients returning to normal activities sooner and experiencing less postoperative discomfort.
