Does the food go on the inside of the endobarrier device with the digestive enzymes on the outside of the device? Does the endobarrier device modify metabolic pathways and prevent the mixing of food and digestive enzymes? Does the EndoBarrier stenting device migrate without safe and secure proximal fixation with T fasteners?

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?
