Objective

The Leeds 2025 vNOTES workshop is aimed at Consultant and Senior Trainees (ST6/7) who are interested in understanding this novel endoscopic procedure, offering many advantages to patients.

The workshop will provide an interactive introduction to the vNOTES technique with short presentations, videos and hands on simulation.

Candidates will undertake a vNOTES hysterectomy using plastic models, supervised and supported by faculty. This will be a great opportunity to meet experienced vNOTES surgeons and the Applied Medical team to ask questions, explore future training events and gain an appreciation of the instrumentation and steps involved in vNOTES procedures.
