Abstract
Introduction: Optimal techniques for Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) are evolving. We previously reported successful transvaginal NOTES cholecystectomy in a non-survival porcine model using a Magnetic Anchoring and Guidance System (MAGS). The purpose of this study was to determine short-term survival outcomes following transvaginal cholecystectomy. Methods: Procedures were performed in pigs (n = 3, 29-34 kg) survived for 14 days. The abdomen, vagina, and perineum were prepped with betadyne; sterile instruments were used.
