چکیده

Natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) has attracted great interests from both of surgeons and gastroenterologists as a next generation minimally invasive surgery completely eliminating need for skin incision, and also a paradigm shift for flexible endoscopy to explore new frontiers beyond the confines of the gut wall.

There is little dought that NOTES would yield rewards not only to surgeons, but also to gastroenterologists.
