 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?
