Is single port laparoscopy SPL positioned to be more successful than using the natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery NOTES approach? Is there any substantial advantage of SPL or NOTES over conventional laparoscopy and robotics? Are retention suture t-anchors to the lateral parietal peritoneum improving the SPL access for scarless single port transumbilical
nephrectomy and […]

Are open incisions that cause pain and require lengthy healing times unnecessary to treat colorectal cancer patients? Are surgeons no longer afraid that laparoscopy might impair survival in colorectal cancer patients and cause metastases in the skin openings that are used to insert the trocars and instruments? Is the expeditious traditional open approach to cancer […]
