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 […]
