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.
