Are practicing surgeons and community hospitals able to acquire the skills and instrumentation and offer patients alternative procedures to NOTES during the early developmental phase of the translumenal procedures? Does SPA have a much stronger potential to be safely learned by experienced laparoscopic surgeons? Do advanced laparoscopic procedures being performed via SPA using traditional laparoscopic […]
