What is the value that the Natural Orifice Surgery NOS technique adds to a surgical procedure? Is NOSCAR surgery enthusiasm self-serving in order to keep the research going? Which high-volume procedure will be the incentive to keep the NOS development rolling?

Olympus Medical Systems Corporation…has developed the “Multi-Tasking Endoscope System” concept model for the realization of new minimally invasive therapies such as NOTES…to support further advances in the use of endoscopic surgery techniques in order to reduce the impact of surgery on patients.
This concept model aims to contribute to the observation and treatment of internal organs within the ventral cavity with a system that has the excellent operability of a flexible endoscope with two arms fitted on its end. As the doctor operates the arm manipulator, the two arms will move up and down and from side to side. The specially-developed therapeutic devices inserted in the arms will rotate and move back and forth. The tip portions will open and close…
…Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) is a technique that straddles the boundary between surgery and internal medicine. It involves the use of flexible endoscopes to approach the abdominal cavity via lumenal organs, such as the stomach, colon, uterus or bladder. This technique has been an active area of basic research around the world to reduce the impact of surgery on patients…
The two arms fitted on the end of the flexible endoscope have a bendable part, whose rigidity has been enhanced to be able to lift an organ or a piece of tissue. This system has also achieved excellent operability. The two arms can move up and down and from side to side, while the therapeutic devices inserted in the arms can rotate and move back and forth. The tip portions can also open and close…
