Core Tip	Gastrointestinal (transgastric and transrectal) access is technically feasible for natural orifice trans-luminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) in a number of major urological procedures, and is an attractive alterna-tive with similar outcomes and distinct advantages compared to transvaginal NOTES. The recent adaptation of robotic technology to transrectal NOTES points the way toward future horizons. Further testing and device development is required prior to clinical application.
