Book description
Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) has the
potential to change the practice of surgery as we know it. Proponents
say advantages over laprascopic surgery include lower anesthesia
requirements, faster recovery and shorter hospital stays, avoidance of
transabdominal wound infections, less immunosuppression, better
postoperative pulmonary and diaphragmatic function, and the potential
for "scarless" abdominal surgery. In this text/video set, the
leading world expert in NOTES shares his experience. Three sections
cover fundamentals, current clinical applications and techniques, and
future perspectives.
