Are practicing surgeons and community hospitals able to acquire the skills and instrumentation and offer patients alternative procedures to NOTES during the early developmental phase of the translumenal procedures? Does SPA have a much stronger potential to be safely learned by experienced laparoscopic surgeons? Do advanced laparoscopic procedures being performed via SPA using traditional laparoscopic […]

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 […]
