Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES™)

Abstract

A little more than a decade after the first report of natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) in a preclinical model, NOTES has entered human clinical practice. Thousands of pure and hybrid NOTES procedures, including esophageal myotomy, cholecystectomy, and colectomy, are being performed around the globe. This chapter provides an overview of the history, current status, and future challenges in the field of natural orifice surgery.
