“…Nevertheless, based on finding incomplete healing of the cecectomy site in one subject, we would prefer a more secure method of cecectomy site closure. The other possible closure techniques are endoscopic suturing (Eagle Claw VII) [8,9], double endolooping (Queen's closure) [10], PEG (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy) tube closure [11], staples [12], and the endoscopic full-thickness plicator device [13]. We are convinced that complete closure can be achieved when an appropriate closing device is developed.…”

“…Endoscopic application of T-bars has also been evaluated in the setting of viscerotomy closure [73,74], whereas their efficiency has been questioned by experimental studies [75,76]. The effectiveness of endoscopic suturing devices which have been primarily used for gastric hemostasis and gastric plication, such as the Eagle-Claw VII (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) and the NDO Plicator (NDO Surgical, Mansfield, MA, USA), has been the subject of investigations [77,78]. …”

Background: The beneficial clinical results of laparoscopic surgery have prompted modern investigations to further minimize surgical trauma and to optimize cosmetic results. Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES®) refers to the surgical concept of entering the surgical field through a body lumen for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes without producing visible scars. Method: A review of the current literature was undertaken by means of the electronic databases Excerpta Medica and EMBASE. Results: Although the level of clinical evidence is low, the concept of NOTES has found clinical application in a variety of abdominal procedures, such as cholecystectomy, appendectomy, and sigmoidectomy. The vagina represents the most frequent access route for NOTES while the stomach, the rectum, and the transoral approach are further options. Several clinical studies have demonstrated the feasibility of a wide variety of NOTES procedures; however, there are currently no hard data supporting the superiority of this approach over conventional laparoscopic techniques. Furthermore, inherent limitations of the NOTES concept, such as the loss of triangulation, difficult tissue manipulation, and the potential contamination of the surgical field, warrant technological advances in medical endoscopy, instrumentation, and endoscopic tissue closure. Conclusions: In its current status, NOTES has to be considered as a stage towards minimization of surgical access trauma rather than as an established surgical concept.

After the first report by Kalloo et al on transgastric peritoneoscopy in pigs, it rapidly became apparent that there was no room for an under-evaluated concept and blind adoption of an appealing (r)evolution in minimal access surgery. Systematic experimental work became mandatory before any translation to the clinical setting. Choice and management of the access site, techniques of dissection, exposure, retraction and tissue approximationsealing were the basics that needed to be evaluated before considering any surgical procedure or study of the relevance of natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). After several years of testing in experimental labs, the revolutionary concept of NOTES, is now progressively being experimented on in clinical settings. In this paper the authors analyse the challenges, limitations and solutions to assess how to move from the lab to clinical implementation of transgastric endoscopic cholecystectomy.
