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? […]

Are the growing capabilities of therapeutic flexible endoscopy leading to a new era in treatment of gastrointestinal conditions? Are the most important areas for initial NOTES study safe peritoneal access and secure gastric closure, intraperitoneal contamination, image display and maintenance of spatial orientation, development of stable working platforms, physiologic perturbations, and tissue approximation methods?

What devices are needed for accessing digestive or other organs within the gastrointestinal tract and within the peritoneal cavity? What are the complications when instruments are passed into the gastrointestinal tract and out of the stomach for performing diagnostic or therapeutic surgical procedures? What is the early clinical experiencewith flexible endoscopic suturing techniques for […]
