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 […]

Are the factors for this study patient demographics, indication for operation, procedure performed, height of anastomosis, leak rate and the outcome, inpatient stay, mortality, rate of defunctioning stomas, and rate of conversion to open procedure? Are intra-operative air leak rare in these patients? Does this study demonstrate that the anastomotic leak rate from intra-corporeal laparoscopic […]

Will surgeons one day routinely remove an appendix through a patient’s mouth? How significant is the NOTES research and activity by medical device companies and venture-funded start-up companies? Does transluminal surgery have the potential to break the physical barrier between bodily trauma and surgery?
