To give a conceptual description of natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES), review the early efforts in the NOTES field, and discuss its challenges and limitations.
The data were retrieved mainly from publications listed in MEDLINE, PubMed and China Wanfang Database from 2005 to 2009. The search term was "NOTES".
The articles involved in the "NOTES" study were selected and the review articles were excluded from the comparison.
A marked increase in quantity in articles was shown each year for NOTES studies from 2006 to 2009. Animal experiments with "NOTES" have been carried out in China from 2007, and two independent "NOTES" procedures on humans were reported in 2009.
Although still in its infancy, the "NOTES" procedure is promising as another type of minimally invasive surgery and favorable alternative to current interventions.
对经自然腔道内镜手术（NOTES）给予概念性描述，回顾NOTES 领域的早期工作，并讨论其挑战和局限性。
数据主要来源于 2005 年至 2009 年 MEDLINE、PubMed 和中国万方数据库中列出的出版物。检索词为“NOTES”。
选择了涉及“NOTES”研究的文章，并排除了综述文章进行比较。
从 2006 年至 2009 年，每年的 NOTES 研究文章数量都有显著增加。中国已于 2007 年开展了“NOTES”动物实验，并于 2009 年报告了两例独立的“NOTES”人体操作。
尽管仍处于起步阶段，但NOTES 手术作为另一种微创外科手术具有广阔的前景，是当前介入治疗的有利替代方法。
