Case description

NOTES - is the next generation of minimally Invasive procedure. This surgery involves passing surgical instruments and a tiny camera through a natural orifice, such as the stomach, vagina, bladder or colon, to perform surgery. By avoiding major incisions through the skin, muscle, and nerves of the abdomen, patients recover more quickly, experience less pain and have no visible scars on their abdomen while the risk of post-operative complications such as wound infections and hernias is significantly reduced. In the video we can see how this technique is performed in the urology clinic (Tulane Medical Center).
