Human natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is already being reported from numerous centers, and the results seem promising. There are key issues to be addressed and benefits over traditional safe procedures need to be demonstrated. Interestingly, however, human NOTES seem to be progressing at a fast pace compared with the evolution of surgical procedures or techniques described previously. This article examines the current status of NOTES in humans, the challenges, and the implications on the future of minimal access surgery.
来自众多中心的报告显示,人类经自然腔道内镜手术(NOTES)已取得一定成果,且前景似乎颇为乐观。然而,仍有一些关键问题有待解决,同时也需要证明其相较于传统安全手术的优势。有趣的是,与之前所描述的外科手术或技术的发展相比,人类NOTES似乎正在快速推进。本文探讨了人类NOTES的现状、面临的挑战以及对未来微创外科手术的影响。
