What are the benefits of performing a cholecystectomy through a 20mm umbilical port that might increase the risk of abdominal wall complications? Will it be possible to reduce the size of the instruments and scopes to make them suitable for a smaller umbilical port? What role have flexible scopes with operative channels and endoscopic instruments?

Can the procedure of a colonic endoscopy be transformed into a more pleasurable experience? Are scientists developing a new way of carrying out flexible endoscopy procedures using techniques found in Nature based on a wriggling worm? Can the bending forces be reduced and so lessen the chance of damage to a patient’s internal organs if […]
