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 contamination, image display and maintenance of spatial orientation, development of stable working platforms, physiologic perturbations, and tissue approximation methods?

How can a transoral plication and fastening be performed in an endolumenal NOTES and Noscar surgery for the treatment of GERD? Are we a long way from routine clinical applications of NOTES? What new instrumentation is vital for performing safe NOTES procedures such as the transoral plication and fastening together of portions of the stomach […]

Is a device with the capability to suture endoscopically a valuable tool for a variety of endolumenal GI procedures? Is the 510(k) clearance of the OverStitch endoscopic suture system a significant step towards making the benefits of endolumenal surgery a realistic therapeutic option? Will the OverStitch system will enable the advanced endoscopist to perform more […]

Are the plum-size gallbladders usually extracted through tiny holes in the abdomen, safe to be pulled out through the vagina? Does it makes sense to put a hole in a perfectly good organ? Will NOTES ever be embraced by the surgical community?
