[Surgery without scars].
In Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES), the procedures are performed through natural body openings, such as the mouth, vagina, urtehra and anus. By avoiding skin incisions, it is possible to prevent scars, hernias and wound infections. NOTES in humans should at this point in time only be performed within approved clinical studies.
