Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is entering an exciting new phase with further developments in the marriage of laparoscopic and interventional endoscopic techniques. The result of these developments are MIS procedures that are less invasive, safer, and achieve better outcomes for patients.
Physicians interested in keeping abreast of the advances in endolumenal techniques, including Natural Orifice Translumenal Endolumenal Surgery (NOTES), should view this webcast, which features innovators in the field from NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.
In April 2007, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital surgeons performed what is thought to have been the nation’s first NOTES surgery—a transvaginal cholecystectomy procedure. Since then, they have successfully completed an additional two NOTES procedures. The approach will be discussed during the webcast.
