Did Antony Kalloo, when he presented his experience in transgastric surgery in 2004, imagine that he and NOTES would be at the epicentre of a revolution in laparoscopic surgery? Did the ASGE and SAGES leaders, who created a working group to develop transluminal surgery, sense that this idea would have some repercussion on laparoscopic surgery? […]
