Abstract：Natural orifice transluminal single-site endoscopic surgery has the advantages of minimal trauma,good cosmetic effect,rapid postoperative recovery and low incidence of complications.Natural orifice transluminal single-site endoscopic surgery is in line with the modern concept of scarless and painless minimally invasive surgery and is the development direction of minimally invasive surgery in gynecology.The approaches of natural orifice transluminal single-site endoscopic surgery in gynecology are mainly divided into transumbilical approach and transvaginal approach.The transvaginal approach has the advantages of no scars on the abdomen,rapid wound healing,mild postoperative pain and low complication rate,and is currently a research hotspot in minimally invasive gynecological surgery.In recent years,robotic surgical systems have developed rapidly,and their combination with natural orifice transluminal single-site endoscopic surgery can achieve three-dimensional imaging magnification of the surgical field and flexible robotic arm to fulfill complex surgical operations,which broadens the surgical indications and surgical accuracy.The combination of robotic surgical systems and natural orifice transluminal single-site endoscopic surgery is considered to be a revolu-tionary breakthrough in minimally invasive surgery.In this paper,the current development status and future direction of natural orifice transluminal single-site surgery in gynecology are elaborated.
