Vaginal Natural Orifice Endoscopic Surgery for Primary Uterovaginal Prolapse: Evidence, Evolution, and Standardized Surgical Technique for Uterosacral Ligament Suspension.
Review in International urogynecology journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introduction and hypothesisVaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) has emerged as a minimally invasive approach for primary uterovaginal prolapse with increasing application in urogynecology. A systematic review published in 2025 supports vNOTES uterosacral ligament suspension (USLS) as an alternative mode of access with favorable perioperative anatomic and patient-centered outcomes compared to conventional transvaginal repair.
methodsIn April 2026, a consensus conference on controversies in the surgical management of primary uterovaginal prolapse (U-POP) was conducted with the overarching goal of developing an evidence-based algorithm for surgical decision-making and standardizing best-practice surgical techniques for U-POP. For vNOTES USLS, a 2025 systematic review served as the primary evidence base for generation of consensus statements that were submitted for delphi voting. A recommendation for preferred surgical technique of vNOTES USLS was developed on the basis of expert opinion.
resultsCurrent evidence suggests improved operative efficiency, low complication rates, and improved visualization of the ureters and pelvic sidewall anatomy compared to conventional vaginal uterosacral ligament suspension. This review describes the integration of vNOTES in urogynecology, reviews the current evidence regarding safety and outcomes, and provides stepwise surgical technique and best-practice considerations for vNOTES USLS for the surgical treatment of primary U-POP with accompanying videos.
conclusionsvNOTES provides improved visualization of the uterosacral ligaments and using a standardized technique, may offer advantages over laparoscopic and conventional transvaginal uterosacral ligament suspension for primary uterovaginal prolapse repair.
