Excerpt

Not since the introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy has the development of a new surgical technique generated as much excitement and enthusiasm as the concept of natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). First described by Kalloo et al. [2], the idea of performing surgery in a body cavity through a natural orifice has rapidly expanded from simple transgastric peritoneoscopy to interventions performed through the rectum, vagina, and bladder. …
