Is a device with the capability to suture endoscopically a valuable tool for a variety of endolumenal GI procedures? Is the 510(k) clearance of the OverStitch endoscopic suture system a significant step towards making the benefits of endolumenal surgery a realistic therapeutic option? Will the OverStitch system will enable the advanced endoscopist to perform more […]

Did Antony Kalloo, when he presented his experience in transgastric surgery in 2004, imagine that he and NOTES would be at the epicentre of a revolution in laparoscopic surgery? Did the ASGE and SAGES leaders, who created a working group to develop transluminal surgery, sense that this idea would have some repercussion on laparoscopic surgery? […]

Does NOTES need mobile surgical tools? Is the ultimate goal to have a machine that a patient can swallow? Could we inject small structures that move and can do things on their own?

What are the test results accomplished by three NASA astronauts and one surgeon who were undergoing long-term training in an underwater habitat called the NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations? Have the telementoring results demonstrated that nonsurgeons having been trained with a specified skill set can perform more complex laparoscopic procedure using in vivo robots? Will […]
