Endoscopic treatment for gastric perforation using T-tag and a plastic protection chamber: a short-term survival study.

Context: The endoscopic gastric perforation is a consequence of some endoscopic procedures and now a way to manage abdominal organs. This is the reason why endoscopists are studying a safe endoscopic repair.

Objective: To evaluate an endoscopic closure method for the gastric opening in natural orifice transenteric surgery

Design: Short-term survival animal study.

Expandable gastric port for natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery.

Background: The risk of intraabdominal contamination is a critical consideration during most natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) procedures.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine a safe and efficient pathway for the endoscope in a transgastric NOTES procedure.

Design And Settings: A pilot experimental study in live pigs was performed.
