Area of Science:

  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical innovation

Background:

  • Natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) represents a significant advancement in minimally invasive surgical techniques.
  • The development of NOTES aims to reduce surgical trauma and improve patient recovery by utilizing internal body pathways for access.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present recent developments in Natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) procedures and technologies.
  • To review the current clinical applications and outcomes of NOTES interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of experimental studies and clinical settings focusing on NOTES procedures.
  • Analysis of data from the German NOTES-Register and national performance in Switzerland.
  • Examination of hybrid techniques and novel surgical approaches in NOTES.

Main Results:

  • NOTES procedures are predominantly performed using hybrid techniques in both experimental and clinical settings.
  • Transanal total mesorectal excision and transvaginal cholecystectomy demonstrate comparable outcomes to laparoscopic approaches.
  • Transoral interventions, including thyroidectomies and mediastinoscopies, are emerging clinical applications.

Conclusions:

  • NOTES procedures are utilized in animal experiments and clinical practice, though less frequently than conventional methods.
  • Hybrid techniques, often involving rigid instruments, are currently the primary approach for NOTES procedures.
  • Ongoing research focuses on implementing new surgical strategies and enhancing procedural training for NOTES.
