Is it feasible to develop a novel laparoscopic surgical technique for cholecystectomy utilizing only transumbilical incisions? Is cholecystectomy performed through laparoscopic incisions placed within the umbilicus technically feasible and safe? Will the development of advanced flexible instrumentation and visualization platforms facilitate this new operative approach?

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?

Why has Single Port Access SPA surgery been called scarless surgery in spite of a single incision? Will all required instruments go through a single hole? Does the surgeon have to adopt to a steep learning curve when using highly maneuverable instrumentation?

Are there too many open-incision abdominal hysterectomies performed? Is total laparoscopic surgery, using three or four incisions, usuable in most patients with noncancerous conditions? Will single-incision laparoscopic surgery substitue traditional laparoscopy?

Does single-port surgery allow for the use of three channels that can admit a scope and two instruments? Is abdominal trauma further minimized using an natural orifice such as the umbilicus? Will the procedure becomes less challenging with improved flexible instruments?
