Area of Science:

  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Surgical innovation
  • Endoscopic procedures

Background:

  • Natural-orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is a significant surgical innovation.
  • Despite a decade of progress, clinical application of NOTES remains controversial.
  • Laparoscopy is a benchmark for surgical advancement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the progress and clinical application of NOTES.
  • To analyze public perceptions and expert opinions on NOTES.
  • To identify limitations and future directions for NOTES.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive PubMed search was conducted for preclinical and clinical NOTES studies.
  • Analysis of 200 relevant articles on NOTES outcomes.
  • Careful review of public perceptions and expert opinions on NOTES.

Main Results:

  • Direct-target NOTES, like transanal total mesorectal excision, show promising clinical application.
  • Distant-target NOTES, such as appendectomy and cholecystectomy, demonstrate feasibility but introduce NOTES-specific morbidity.
  • Significant increase in NOTES experimentation and human application over the past decade.

Conclusions:

  • NOTES experimentation and clinical application have grown substantially.
  • Enthusiasm for NOTES must be balanced against the risk of NOTES-specific morbidity.
  • Judicious application by trained experts, with outcomes recorded, is paramount for safe clinical integration.
