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 a new incision technique help with the closure of the access made in the stomach? Does the Z-line incision eliminate the need to operate straight through the gastric wall and the complex maneuvers to get the endoscope where it needs to be? Can the technique be safely transfered from the laboratory to human trials […]
