Abstract
A current review and update of an exceedingly novel and appealing topic, namely natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES), is discussed, as well as the authors’ viewpoint thereon. Most reviewed studies were performed in laboratory animals, but reports on transvaginal cholecystectomy and the emergence of editorials and review articles on this topic pose a number of as yet unanswered questions on this type of surgery, which represents a potential advance towards “endoscopic surgery with no scars, no infection, minimal anesthesia requirements, and immediate recovery”.
