Assessment of women's sexual quality of life after benign adnexal surgery using vNOTES approach in comparison to conventional laparoscopy: protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) has already proven its non-inferiority to conventional abdominal laparoscopy (CAL) for hysterectomy without conversion. The results in terms of efficacy and safety are promising. However, we note a lack of medical literature and no specific randomised controlled trial assessing women's sexual function after vNOTES for benign adnexal surgery. The aim of this RCT is to confirm the non-inferiority of the vNOTES approach for benign adnexal pathology compared with CAL on women's sexual function. Secondary outcomes will evaluate vNOTES's efficiency, morbidity and postoperative complications compared with CAL for benign adnexal surgery. The relationship between adnexal mass morcellation and the quality of t
