Specialist Feature: vNOTES (No-Scar Surgery)
Mr Sam is a leading proponent of vNOTES (Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery). This cutting-edge technique represents the next frontier in gynaecology, combining the precision of laparoscopy with the "no-scar" benefits of vaginal surgery. Surgeries performed by vNOTES: hysterectomy, removal of fallopian tubes or ovaries and sterilisation.

• No Visible Scars: No incisions are made on the abdomen.
• Reduced Postoperative Pain: Decreased reliance on narcotic pain medications and less "gas pain" associated with traditional laparoscopy.
• Faster Recovery: Most patients can return to their normal daily activities much sooner than with traditional surgery.
• Shorter Hospital Stays: 
• Lower Risk of Complications: By avoiding abdominal incisions, vNOTES reduces the risk of incisional hernias and wound infections.
