5 Key Takeaways

vNOTES technique successfully applied over 100 times

Fast Answer: The vNOTES technique offers Belgian women a minimally invasive hysterectomy option with numerous benefits, enhancing recovery times and reducing visible scarring.

What are the benefits of the vNOTES technique for hysterectomies?

The vNOTES (vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery) approach is changing how gynecological surgeries are performed in Belgium. By removing the uterus through the vaginal canal rather than abdominal incisions, this method provides several advantages:

No visible scars
Shorter hospital stays
Reduced postoperative pain
Faster recovery times
Lower risk of wound infections

This technique is particularly relevant for Belgian women who have undergone previous abdominal surgeries, as it ensures safety even for high-risk patients.

The future looks bright for vNOTES in Belgium. As more hospitals adopt this innovative procedure, patients can expect safer and less invasive options for gynecological health. If you or someone you know may benefit from this surgery, consult your healthcare provider today!
