What are the benefits of performing a cholecystectomy through a 20mm umbilical port that might increase the risk of abdominal wall complications? Will it be possible to reduce the size of the instruments and scopes to make them suitable for a smaller umbilical port? What role have flexible scopes with operative channels and endoscopic instruments?

Is Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) entering into a new phase? Is the marriage of laparoscopic and interventional endoscopic techniques resulting in MIS procedures that are less invasive, safer, and achieve better outcomes for patients? What are the advances in endolumenal techniques, including Natural Orifice Translumenal Endolumenal Surgery NOTES?

Has a new dimension been added to minimally invasive surgery that eliminates complications associated with traditional surgery such as postoperative abdominal wall pain, wound infections, hernias, adhesions, and impaired immune function? Are second generation devices currently being evaluated and have any of the prototypes been proven to be more feasible for clinical application?
