Background and Purpose: Natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) using purpose-built equipment has never been applied to urologic surgery. Herein, we present our initial experience with a transvaginal single-port NOTES nephrectomy. Methods and Results: An acute experiment was performed in a female farm pig. A single 12-mm trocar was placed in the midline and the TransPort((TM)) Multi-Lumen Operating Platform (USGI Medical, San Clemente, CA) was passed transvaginally. This flexible device has four working channels and can be locked into position, thereby creating a rigid multitasking platform that allows two-handed tissue manipulation. Dissection was performed using an endoscopic needle knife and a tissue grasper for retraction. Via the 12-mm port, the renal artery and vein were taken separately with a vascular EndoGIA and standard laparoscopic titanium clips, respectively. The kidney was placed in a 10-mm EndoPouch retriever and removed intact via the vagina. The total operative time was 300 minutes. Conclusion: Transvaginal NOTES nephrectomy can be accomplished in a porcine model. Additional testing on survival animals is necessary to validate this approach.
