%X natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (notes) is an emerging experimental alternative to conventional surgery that eliminates abdominal incisions and incision-related complications by combining endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques to diagnose and treat abdominal pathology. natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery refers to the method of accessing the abdominal cavity through a natural orifice under endoscopic visualization. since its introduction in 2004, numerous reports have been published describing different surgical interventions. recently, a group of expert laparoscopic surgeons and endoscopists outlined the limitations of this approach and issued recommendations for progress toward human trials. transluminal surgery is a new method for accessing the abdomen under direct endoscopic visualization. preliminary studies have demonstrated the feasibility of this technique in animal models; however, further research is warranted to validate its safety in humans.
