Transvaginal endoscopic oophorectomy.
Four women underwent transvaginal endoscopic oophorectomy during vaginal hysterectomy. The adnexa were visualized with a laparoscope inserted into the upper vagina. Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy or oophorectomy was carried out with standard laparoscopic instruments introduced through the vagina without a pneumoperitoneum; Endoloop sutures and bipolar electrocoagulation were used for hemostasis.
