Does this prototype endoscope deflecting working channels allow transgastric cholecystectomy in pigs? Was the dissection of the gallbladder via the left-right channel enhanced with retraction via the up-down deflecting channel? Will the prototype make NOTES with current available instrumentation less cumbersome?

Are the grant recipients conducting research that is pointing to the next phase in the evolution of the NOTES procedure? Are the growing capabilities of therapeutic flexible endoscopy leading to a new era in treatment of gastrointestinal conditions? Are the most important areas for initial NOTES study safe peritoneal access and secure gastric closure, intraperitoneal […]
