Will surgeons use the TriPort to develop a new generation of procedures that reduce surgical trauma and scars? will the reduction in trauma and scars result in an increase in the number of patients willing to provide transplant kidneys and other organs? Is there any substantial advantage of SPL or NOTES over conventional laparoscopy and […]

Is single port laparoscopy SPL positioned to be more successful than using the natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery NOTES approach? Is there any substantial advantage of SPL or NOTES over conventional laparoscopy and robotics? Are retention suture t-anchors to the lateral parietal peritoneum improving the SPL access for scarless single port transumbilical

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?
