The procedure uses natural openings, such as the back of the vaginal wall, to access the abdominal cavity so no direct incisions to the abdominal wall are made. This reduces patient discomfort, recovery time, risk of complications and external scars. The technique has been used for pelvic operations such as appendectomies and colon resections.
