Does the successful procedure further support the versatility and precision of the Intelligent Surgical Product Line? Are surgical techniques possible that allow for small bowel resection and anastomosis without abdominal incisions? Will the new technology accelerate the procedures related to Natural Orifice Surgery Consortium for Assessment and Research’s NOSCAR and Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery […]

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?

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?

Does the SILS kit enable incision-less surgery that will improve patient outcomes? Is the SILS NOTES product development an initiative that was launched in 2007 in response to the 2007 business results? Will the new products have an impact on the reported 2007 net loss of $342 million on sales of $10.2 billion?
