Recently, a robotic system was developed in the biomedical field to support minimally invasive surgery. The popularity of minimally invasive surgery has surged rapidly because of endoscopic procedures. In endoscopic surgery, surgical procedures are performed within a body cavity and visualized with laparoscopy or thoracoscopy. Since the initial laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed in 1987, the implications for endoscopic procedures have continuously expanded, and endoscopic surgery is currently the standard for an increasing number of operations. Advances in laparoscopic surgery have led to less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, and an earlier return to work for many patients. However, performing laparoscopic procedures requires several skills that have never been required for conventional open surgery. The surgeon needs to coordinate his/her eyes and hands and acquire a skillful manner using long-shaft instruments as well as mentally interpret a two-dimensional environment as a three-dimensional one. Because learning such skills is stressful for most surgeons, performing a laparoscopic procedure is more physically and mentally demanding than performing an open procedure.

Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES), which utilises natural anatomical passages for gaining access to the intra-abdominal organs for surgical interventions, that result in scarless surgery, is a recent advancement in the specialty of minimally invasive surgery and has gained significant momentum, It has been postulated as a promising alternative to laparoscopic surgery in the fi eld of minimal invasive surgery. Signifi cant advantages over conventional open surgery, such as less postoperative pain, a shorter hospital stay, early return to activity, avoidance of woundrelated complications and better cosmesis have been demonstrated. This article provides an update in the development, principles, practice and future applications of NOTES. Keywords: natural orifice, minimally invasive, scarless, endoscopic surgery.
