To date, transvaginal cholecystectomy is the most common NOTES procedure performed in humans. Completely Transvaginal NOTES Cholecystectomy in a Porcine Model Using Novel Endoscopic Instrumentation (Poster Presentation) - Concluded a pure NOTES cholecystectomy (gall bladder removal), without any laparoscopic assistance, is feasible in a porcine model using the NOTES Toolbox.Doctors at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine led this study. Transgastric Uterine Horn Resection Using a Novel NOTES Toolbox (Podium Presentation) - Successfully simulated a pure NOTES appendectomy in a porcine model using the NOTES Toolbox.Ethicon Endo-Surgery plans to investigate the use of the TAS in NOTES procedures next. Doctors from the University Hospitals Case Medical Center conducted this study, which included seven patients.
This study, in which the NOTES Toolbox was used in a porcine model, was conducted by doctors at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Sahlgrenska University Hospital (Goteborg, Sweden) and Imperial College (London). A New NOTES Toolbox: Flexible Instruments for Translumenal Surgery (Emerging Tech Podium Presentation) - The study investigators concluded the NOTES Toolbox greatly expands the capabilities of the endoscope and will serve as an excellent foundation for future innovations.Study authors, led by Imperial College (London) and Colchester General Hospital (United Kingdom), believe the system could help overcome visualization challenges and instrument congestion associated with NOTES and SSL. The Development and Testing of a Tethered, Independent Camera for NOTES and Single-Site Laparoscopic Procedures (Podium Presentation) - Found a newly developed displaced visualization system provided surgeons a "stadium view" similar to that of a laparoscope during preclinical NOTES procedures in the porcine model.Highlights of the NOTES Toolbox studies presented at the 2009 SAGES Annual Meeting include: The NOTES Toolbox is a comprehensive suite of devices specifically designed for natural orifice surgery. These new devices overcome some of the force limitations typical of flexible devices and may provide the operating clinician capabilities that are more in line with laparoscopy." "In particular, we found the natural orifice surgery devices developed by Ethicon Endo-Surgery addressed some fundamental limitations of the off-the-shelf endoscopic instruments used in NOTES procedures to date. Scott MD, FACS, associate professor of surgery, University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. "The development of new technology will be integral in order to safely and responsibly move SSL and NOTES forward," said Daniel J. Two additional studies demonstrated a new multi-port device developed by Ethicon-Endo Surgery successfully facilitated single-site laparoscopy (SSL). Setting the stage for human trials, 13 of the studies reported positive preliminary experiences with the devices during, or with direct application to, natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). Ethicon Endo-Surgery Novel Investigational Notes and SSL Devices Featured In 15 Presentations At SAGESĬINCINNATI - ApEthicon Endo-Surgery today announced the company's novel, investigational *devices, including its NOTES Toolbox ™, are featured in 15 studies being presented at the 2009 Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) Annual Meeting.
