Novel Therapeutic

Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery is a novel therapeutic method in development that uses different routes of surgical approach. The use of various methods, instruments and accessories during this procedure are currently being investigated. A case of appendicitis-related intra-abdominal abscess that was resolved by a transcolonic endoscopic approach using a wide-channel colonoscope with the help of precut and standard sphincterotome without radiological percutaneous drainage is presented.

The Times

Although laparoscopic colectomy shows superior short-term outcomes and similar oncologic outcomes in comparison to conventional open colectomy, incision-related complications have weakened its advantages. The natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) has been considered as the most perfect surgical approach. However, monumental technical hurdles have precluded widely adoption of this technique. As a transient mode, the natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) emerges as the times require. Although it is accepted by surgeons for the treatment of colorectal cancer, there are still many disputes that need to be solved.

Background. NOTES techniques allow transesophageal access to the mediastinum. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of transesophageal biopsy of thoracic vertebrae.Methods. Nonsurvival experiments on four 50-kg porcine animals were performed. Transesophageal access to the mediastinum was attained using submucosal tunneling technique.Results. The posterior mediastinum was successfully accessed and navigated in all animals. Vertebral bodies and intervertebral spaces were easily approached while avoiding damage to adjacent vessels. Bone biopsy was successfully performed without complications, but the hardness of bone tissue resulted in small and fragmented samples.Conclusions. Peroral transesophageal access into the posterior mediastinum and thoracic vertebral bone biopsy was feasible and safe. The proximity of the esophagus to the vertebral column provides close and direct access to the thoracic spine and opens up new ground for the performance of multilevel anterior spine procedures using NOTES techniques.
