Flexible Surgery for Endoscopic, Single Port, and NOTES Procedures
Incisionless Surgery is the next wave in minimally invasive surgery and is rapidly becoming an option demanded by patients, insurers and healthcare providers. New surgical tools and stable platforms enable access to the GI tract and abdominal organs through a patient’s mouth or other natural orifices, eliminating the need for external incisions into the body. Incisionless procedures include those performed within the natural pathways (lumens) of the GI tract (Endolumenal Surgery) or by creating an opening in the lumen to access abdominal organs (NOTES, Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery).
