Excerpt

The endoscope is largely seen as a minimally invasive surgical technique, and minimizing the invasiveness in surgery is a general trend, which is for a large number of patients the crucial point when opting for a treatment. Yes, the endoscope is a great tool for improving the visualization in deep and narrow corridors, but seeing the lesion does not automatically enable resecting it. The resection is highly dependent on the maneuverability of the surgical instrument, which is limited by the narrow and deep corridor along the endoscope. …
