The evolution from classical open surgery to laparoscopic surgery has led to a significant reduction of morbidity and mortality. Newer advances such as development of single port laparoscopic surgery and scarless Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) have moved forward the practice in "Minimally Invasive Surgery". Recently, clinical application of vNOTES has broadened significantly in the field of gynaecological surgery. As the application of vNOTES is increasing, it is deemed mandatory to assess the clinical outcomes and the learning curve (LC) of this novel technique. There is a paucity of reports in the literature analysing prospectively the clinical outcomes the LC of vNOTES in the gynaecological field. To the investigator's knowledge, there is no published prospective multicentre study that aims to evaluate the peri- and postoperative outcomes and the LC of salpingectomy for tubal sterilization by the technique of vNOTES.
