Laparoscopic surgery enables a minimally invasive approach. The recent challenge is however to perform scarless procedures. This is achieved by the introduction of natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). The aim of this paper was the first attempt in Poland to assess the feasibility of NOTES transvaginal cholecystectomy. The transvaginal access procedure was performed on 9th April 2008. In the current paper the authors describe the technique used and comment on practical aspects of NOTES technology.
