Does the development of innovative NOTES devices for improving the function of the lower esophageal sphincter LES continue? What role will Polymethylmethacrylate PMMA beads play in the thicken of the tissue and the strengthen of the LES when the microbeads are implanted in local tissue adjacent to the LES? Will the promising work in Endoscopic […]

Endoluminal and transluminal surgery: current status and future possibilities

Saturday, September 29, 2007

IIP > justin > ric mave:
The field of minimally invasive surgery has seen tremendous growth since the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed in 1987. The key question is not how successful these techniques are currently, but rather where may they lead in the future?…The terms being coined in the literature include “incisionless,” “endoluminal,” “transluminal,” and […]
