Laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery cholecystectomy: results of a prospective-comparative single-center study

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in female individuals has been recently challenged by transvaginal NOTES cholecystectomy (TVC). TVC has not been widely accepted as a standard procedure, even though it is reported to be a safe and painless alternative to LC. This prospective-comparative study aims to not only prove equality of TVC and LC but to underline the advantages of TVC over LC with regard to postoperative pain.
