What is Clinical experience with a multifunctional, flexible surgery system for endolumenal, single-port, and NOTES procedures about?

## Background Single-port and incisionless surgical approaches hold the promise of fewer complications, reduced pain, faster recovery, and improved cosmesis compared with traditional open or laparoscopic approaches. The ability to select an access approach (i.e., endolumenal, single-port, transvaginal, or transgastric) with one platform may be important to optimization of individual patient results. The authors report their results using these four separate surgical approaches tailored to three different therapeutic procedures, all with the use of a single flexible platform, the Incisionless Operating Platform (IOP). ## Methods After institutional review board approval, the IOP was used to perform nine cholecystectomies via transvaginal (TV) (__n__ = 4), transgastric (TG) (__n__ = 4), and single-port transumbilical (TU) (__n__ = 1) access. Two appendectomies were performed via TG access. Endolumenal access was used for 18 gastric pouch and stoma reductions after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The TG and TV procedures involved the use of one to three trocars. The recorded data included safety, procedural success, operative time, patient pain assessment (on a 0–10 scale) at discharge, and
