Another all-new section focuses on surgical controversies, such as whether or not to use robotic surgical technology and whether or not it influences surgical outcomes; whether or not having a consistent operating room team influences surgical outcomes, and whether a conflict of interest truly influences surgical quality.

This volume provides a broad introduction in Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) to the novice, as well as a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the major areas of research in this field for those already performing NOTES. Designed as stand-alone treatises on each particular topic, the chapters are arranged around management of esophageal motor disorders, gastric closure, transgastric NOTES, transvaginal procedures, transrectal NOTES and natural orifice colorectal surgery, and also novel natural orifice techniques that go beyond routine diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy.    Written by experts in the field, NOTES and Endoluminal Surgery is a valuable resource for gastroenterologists and surgeons working in the field of NOTES.
