Hybrid Transvaginal-Transabdominal Endoscopic Surgery

August 19, 2015 updated by: St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center
The is a pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of hybrid transvaginal-transabdominal procedures. Diagnostic peritoneoscopy (visualizing the inside of the abdomen), appendectomy (removal of the appendix), and cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder) will be performed through a vaginal incision with an additional small incision in the umbilicus.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Endoscopic Cholecystectomy
20 patients in this arm will undergo cholecystectomy, or removal of the gallbladder, through this experimental approach. This arm will compose of patients with symptomatic gallstones (cholelithiasis).
Procedure: Endoscopic Cholecystectomy
An incision will be made in the vagina and a flexible surgical camera (endoscope) and instruments will be introduced. The surgical procedure for each given arm will be performed with the aid of an additional surgical instrument inserted through a small incision in the umbilicus.
Experimental: Endoscopic Appendectomy
Participants will with chronic appendicitis will undergo appendectomy through this experimental approach.
Procedure: Endoscopic Appendectomy
An incision will be made in the vagina and a flexible surgical camera (endoscope) and instruments will be introduced. The surgical procedure for each given arm will be performed with the aid of an additional surgical instrument inserted through a small incision in the umbilicus
Experimental: Endoscopic Peritoneoscopy
20 patients in this arm will undergo diagnostic peritoneoscopy with or without biopsy for any indication.
