The Learning Curve of a Gynecology and Obstetrics Resident Performing Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (V-NOTES) Hysterectomy in a University Hospital

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the learning curve of obstetrics and gynecology residents performing Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (V-NOTES) hysterectomy in a university hospital setting. V-NOTES hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical technique performed through the vaginal route that combines the advantages of laparoscopy without requiring abdominal incisions. The study will assess the progression of surgical performance of a resident performing V-NOTES hysterectomy under the supervision of an experienced attending surgeon. Key operative and postoperative outcomes will be recorded to evaluate the acquisition of surgical proficiency over time.

Evaluation of the Uterine Cavity in Perimenopausal Women.

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) in perimenopausal women is a common yet poorly defined condition requiring accurate diagnosis. Hysteroscopy is the gold standard for evaluating intrauterine abnormalities, but 3D ultrasonography (3D US) has emerged as a non-invasive alternative.
