Abstract:
Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) was developed as a new, minimally invasive approach for various interventions inside the peritoneal cavity. Since the first reports of NOTES animal interventions, various devices have been used for closure of the transluminal entrance site. This article reviews the most commonly used endoscopic closure devices and advantages of the latest generation of endoscopic suturing devices enabling reliable, surgical-quality closure of the full-thickness gastrointestinal wall defects.
