Is transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) indicated in patients with previous extensive pelvic surgeries? A case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) has been increasingly applied to perform multiple gynecologic procedures. However, evidence is lacking on whether this surgical approach is feasible for patients with prior extensive abdominopelvic surgeries. We report a case of prophylactic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) performed in a 51-year-old patient with previous laparotomic radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy for cervical cancer. The patient underwent rectovaginal examination and evaluation of the transvaginal sonographic sliding sign as preoperative screening to exclude the obliteration of the pouch of Douglas. The abdominal cavity was accessed by cautious endoscopic access to the pouch of Douglas. The BSO was realized in accordance with risk-reducing surgery guidelines. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were observed. We suggest that selecting patients carefully prior to operation and adapting intraoperative techniques could be a safe method for conducting vNOTES interventions in patients with extensive abdominopelvic adhesions.
