What are the long-term complications and physiologic implications of NOTES nephrectomy? Is a transgastric or a transvaginal NOTES accesses favorable for bilateral nephrectomies? Is the use of a modified transvaginal trocar device allowing the dissection of the kidney with standard laparoscopic instruments?

Will vessel wall detection technology based on a combination of a forward-looking guidance system and radio frequency RF energy with real-time feedback become the preferred tool of the interventionalist? Can the new device assist in penetrating hardened material with the capability to use RF power on the tip of the wire while being in controlled […]
