There has been an open debate in the most recent literature on possible progress in laparoscopic surgery, aiming mainly at benefits of minimization of surgical trauma and improvement of cosmesis. Natural-orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) and single- incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) have emerged as approaches whose advantages and possible applications are being explored and tested currently. Operations eligible for NOTES approach are determined by the availability of entry point or hollow organ, availability of endoscopic instruments, and occasional necessity for hybrid or laparoscopic assistance. SILS on the other hand enables the application of a wide range of already existing instruments, implying less of a learning curve, lower costs, and lack of necessity for penetration through the hollow organ, which itself carries certain complications. The main point for reducing the number of incisions prevails: each incision risks morbidity of bleeding, ...
