| Core Tip |
Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) represents a major frontier in gastrointestinal endoscopy by extending minimally invasive therapy toward truly incisionless intervention. Although early clinical translation was limited by concerns regarding access, closure, infection, hemostasis, spatial orientation, and training, many of these barriers have been progressively addressed through advances in third-space endoscopy, endoscopic suturing, closure devices, hemostatic materials, robotic systems, and magnetic platforms. This opinion review highlights the evolution of NOTES, its current clinical and experimental applications, and the collaborative innovation needed to transform NOTES from a pioneering concept into a safe and practical therapeutic platform. |
