[Natural orifices transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) in Germany: summary of the working group reports of the "D-NOTES meeting 2009"].
The D-NOTES-group met in June 2009 for an evaluation of ongoing preclinical and clinical activities in natural orifice endoscopic surgery and the further coordination of research in Germany. Different working groups with various topics were formed. Consensus statements among various participants with different scientific and medical background were initiated. In summary, important topics were handled such as the correct handling of bacterial contamination and related complications, the question of the ideal entry point and a secure closure, interdisciplinary cooperation, and matters related to training and education. Furthermore, participants agreed on terminological basics. A to-do-list for medical engineering was formulated.
