Does the food go on the inside of the endobarrier device with the digestive enzymes on the outside of the device? Does the endobarrier device modify metabolic pathways and prevent the mixing of food and digestive enzymes? Does the EndoBarrier stenting device migrate without safe and secure proximal fixation with T fasteners?

Does the SILS kit enable incision-less surgery that will improve patient outcomes? Is the SILS NOTES product development an initiative that was launched in 2007 in response to the 2007 business results? Will the new products have an impact on the reported 2007 net loss of $342 million on sales of $10.2 billion?
