Background: Umbilical hernias are especially common along with
overweight, multiparous women. Laparoscopic hernia repair is preferred due to
many advantages. On the other hand, the risk of trocar site hernia is
disadvantageous. Trocars do not go through the abdominal wall via transvaginal
natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (V-NOTES). We investigate the
V-NOTES hysterectomy and concomitant umbilical hernia repairment feasibility and
outcomes. Methods: Six morbidly obese patients underwent V-NOTES
hysterectomy and concurrent umbilical hernia repair between April 2020 and
January 2021. Demographic features of patients, operating time, hernia size,
complications, hospitalization time, recurrence of the hernia, visual analog
scale (VAS) at 6th, 12th, and 24th hours, first, fourth, 12th weeks, and sixth
months were recorded. Results: The average age of patients was 47.667
