Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES), which utilises natural anatomical passages for gaining access to the intra-abdominal organs for surgical interventions, that result in scarless surgery, is a recent advancement in the specialty of minimally invasive surgery and has gained significant momentum, It has been postulated as a promising alternative to laparoscopic surgery in the field of minimal invasive surgery. Significant advantages over conventional open surgery, such as less postoperative pain, a shorter hospital stay, early return to activity, avoidance of wound-related complications and better cosmesis have been demonstrated. This article provides an update in the development, principles, practice and future applications of NOTES.
经自然腔道内镜手术（NOTES）利用自然解剖通道进入腹腔内器官进行手术干预，从而实现无痕手术，是微创外科领域的一项最新进展，且已获得显著发展势头。它被认为是微创外科领域腹腔镜手术的一种有前景的替代方法。与传统开放手术相比，NOTES具有显著优势，如术后疼痛减轻、住院时间缩短、能更早恢复活动、避免伤口相关并发症以及美容效果更佳等。本文提供了有关NOTES的发展、原理、实践及未来应用的最新情况。
