Is single-incision laparoscopic surgery an evolving technology which is showing great promise for patients who need minimally-invasive surgery? Is there less chance of infection, less scarring and better cosmetic results, meaning patients can recover faster because there are fewer incisions? Can we expect to see this technique being applied to more and more general laparoscopic […]

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 half a million gallbladders being removed in the United States every year? Are too many patients walking away with several small scars as evidence of the procedure? Will patients emerge from the operating table nearly unscathed, with no scar or just a single incision in the bellybutton?

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 […]

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?

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?

Is the real benefit to the SPA technique that it allows surgeons to do the same laparoscopic procedure they’ve been doing for the past 15 years but through fewer incisions? Are fewer incisions better for the patient in terms of the amount of discomfort, recovery time, and scarring? Are surgeons and gynecologists interested in learning […]
