Does the Notes approach have many potential advantages such as no external scars, cause less pain, and faster recovery?  Is NOSCAR surgery the natural evolution of endoscopic surgery? If a patient is offered a surgical option that would leave no scar, versus one with a little scar, which option would be chosen? IIP > Read on […]

Endoluminal and transluminal surgery: current status and future possibilities

Saturday, September 29, 2007

IIP > justin > ric mave:
The field of minimally invasive surgery has seen tremendous growth since the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed in 1987. The key question is not how successful these techniques are currently, but rather where may they lead in the future?…The terms being coined in the literature include “incisionless,” “endoluminal,” “transluminal,” and […]
