We describe the case of early band migration that developed into intraabdominal infection treated by natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery. A 40-year-old man was seen 4 years after gastric band placement. He complained of epigastric pain and fever. Gastroscopy revealed minimal gastric fundus erosion and a bulging of the antrum wall. Abdominal CT scan showed perigastric abscess surrounding the band tube. Antibiotic therapy was initiated, and endoscopic transgastric abscess drainage was performed. The endoscope was guided into the abscess cavity, and the band tubing was brought into the gastric lumen to serve as a stent to drain the infection, which ceased 5 days later. During the follow-up, the mucosa covering the band was incised in two more sessions to hasten the erosion process. Endoscopic removal was done 7 months after the drainage.

Objective: Recent advancements of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery have led to the development of transvaginal natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) [1,2]. Robot-assisted vNOTES has also been explored as a method providing accurate and fine surgical procedures with improved ergonomics, visualization, wristed instruments, elimination of the hand tremor [3,4]. The objective of this video is to demonstrate the technical and anatomical highlights of a vaginal assisted NOTES hysterectomy (VANH) using the da Vinci SP (SP).

Background: There is a scarcity of prospective clinical research evidence regarding the utilization of transvaginal natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) as a treatment option for ovarian cysts. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and safety of employing vNOTES for the management of ovarian cysts.
Methods: Our study included women between the ages of 18 and 70 who intended to undergo surgical intervention for benign lesions.

Flexible endoscopy, initially developed for diagnosis and tissue sampling, has been adapted for therapeutic interventions, leading to the emergence of natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) in the 2000s. The need for a triangulation function to enhance the intuitiveness and safety of NOTES has prompted the development of dual-arm, flexible endoscopic robotic platforms. Although the global interest in NOTES has decreased in the last decade, no-scar surgery concepts are still being applied to other complex endoluminal interventions, such as endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR), with ongoing research and development.

The term "Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery" (NOTES) defines a surgical approach that leverages the body's natural orifices to access the abdominal cavity, presenting a patient-centric perspective by highlighting its potential to eliminate abdominal wall aggression, mitigate postoperative discomfort, and offer benefits comparable to laparoscopic surgery. This comprehensive paper aims to not only review the existing landscape of NOTES techniques but also to propose advancements in flexible tools augmenting established endoscopic platforms, while also exploring the revolutionary concept of robotic structures grounded in micromechatronics and communication technologies. The thorough analysis encompasses the assessment of advantages and limitations associated with flexible devices and robotic platforms, coupled with an in-depth evaluation of the current array of devices used in NOTES, informed by pertinent literature.
