About this trial
Pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg position are unavoidable in laparoscopic surgery and are known to have adverse effects on intraoperative respiratory mechanics and hemodynamics. These conditions increase the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and highlight the importance of lung-protective ventilation strategies.
vNOTES (Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery) is a minimally invasive technique that requires less Trendelenburg tilt and lower insufflation pressures compared to conventional laparoscopic surgery, and may therefore offer a more favorable intraoperative profile.
This prospective, observational, single-center, parallel-group cohort study aims to compare respiratory mechanics parameters (Ppeak, Pplateau, DP, MPtot, MPdyn, Crs) and hemodynamic parameters (MAP, HR, vasopressor requirement) between vNOTES (n=15) and laparoscopic gynecological surgery (n=15) groups at four intraoperative time points.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Driving Pressure (DP)
Driving pressure measured at four intraoperative time points to compare the effects of vNOTES and laparoscopic gynecological surgery on respiratory mechanics.
Peak Airway Pressure (Ppeak)
Peak airway pressure measured at four intraoperative time points to compare the effects of vNOTES and laparoscopic gynecological surgery on respiratory mechanics.
Plateau Pressure (Pplateau)
Plateau pressure measured at four intraoperative time points to compare the effects of vNOTES and laparoscopic gynecological surgery on respiratory mechanics.
Respiratory System Compliance (Crs)
Respiratory system compliance measured at four intraoperative time points to compare the effects of vNOTES and laparoscopic gynecological surgery on respiratory mechanics.
Secondary outcomes
Mechanical Power (MPtot and MPdyn)
Total and dynamic mechanical power calculated at four intraoperative time points to assess ventilator-induced lung injury risk in vNOTES and laparoscopic gynecological surgery.
Vasopressor Requirement
Incidence of vasopressor use and total vasopressor dose administered intraoperatively in vNOTES and laparoscopic gynecological surgery groups.
Intraoperative Opioid Consumption
Cumulative total opioid consumption (fentanyl in mcg and/or remifentanil in mcg/kg/min) administered from the start of surgery to the end of surgery in vNOTES and laparoscopic gynecological surgery groups.
