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

Is surgical treatment for obesity a good and effective treatment for preventing the life-threatening complications and serious degenerative problems associated with pathological obesity? Do drug and medical device companies cash in to unprecedented degrees? Will overweight- and obesity-attributable spending continue to increase and government will continue to finance a sizable portion?
