- Abstract: Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery(NOTES)is a new revolutionary surgical technique developed in the field of minimally invasive surgery.It uses endoscope to enter the chest,abdominal cavity,and so on for a variety of endoscopic operations through the natural cavity of the human body(such as mouth,stomach,vagina,bladder,rectum,etc.). Conventional NOTES is two-dimensional visualization,and the application of robotic system to NOTES can achieve three-dimensional visualization.Currently,robot-assisted NOTES in gynecologic surgeries mainly include R-LESS(Robot-assisted Laparoendoscopic Single-site Surgery)and robot-assisted vNOTES(transvaginal NOTES).The application of robot-assisted laparoscopy in gynecological natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery is reviewed and discussed in this paper.
