Introduction
Natural orifi ce translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) represents the next logical step in the evolution of minimally invasive surgery that aims to reduce the impact of surgical access [1–7]. Many experimental studies have shown the technical feasibility of performing various surgical proce­dures using the NOTES technique [8–13], and experience with NOTES in humans has gradually been increasing [14– 19]. However, the safe adoption of NOTES for complex surgical procedures will require development of such tools as an endoscopic suturing device, an endoscopic anastomotic device, and a multitasking platform. Peritoneoscopy appears to be one of the most optimal NOTES procedures that can be performed with currently available devices.
This chapter summarizes the published data on NOTES for peritoneal exploration and describes the technical details of the performance of natural orifi ce transgastric endoscopic peritoneoscopy with the submucosal tunnel technique.
NOTES peritoneoscopy
Experimental studies
Several studies have evaluated the feasibility of NOTES peri­toneoscopy using various translumenal routes (Table 10.1) [8,20–29]. In 2004, Kalloo et al. fi rst reported natural orifi ce transgastric peritoneoscopy using a fl exible endoscope in porcine models [8]. Transgastric access to the peritoneal cavity was made by needle -knife puncture, followed by extension of the puncture site with a dilation balloon or a sphincterotome. After endoscopic peritoneoscopy using insuffl ations with air, the gastric incision site was closed with endoclips. Twelve acute and fi ve survival experiments were
successfully performed without complications. Subsequent study confi rmed the feasibility of this technique and showed the ability of transgastric endoscopy for peritoneal explora­tion to identify most intra -abdominal organs in 15 pigs [20].
Safe peritoneal access and secure access site closure are the most important concerns in NOTES, and a more reliable technique for peritoneal approach has been required. Several investigators have shown the effectiveness of transgastric peritoneoscopy via a submucosal tunnel. Sumiyama et al. developed the submucosal endoscopy with mucosal fl ap safety valve technique [21]. They created a large submucosal working space for insertion of an endoscope using high ­pressure carbon dioxide (CO tion, resected the seromuscular layer by using an endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) cap, and closed the mucosal entry site with endoclips. Access to the abdominal cavity and peri­toneoscopy were successfully performed in all four survival pigs. Although necropsy at seven days revealed ulceration on the gastric submucosal working space in three pigs and a small bowel injury in one pig, the leak test was negative in all stomachs. Pauli et al. reported the safety and feasibility of transgastric peritoneoscopy through an extended submu­cosal tunnel with a length of 10 –12 cm [22]. The extended submucosal tunnel was created by using a rat -tooth grasping forceps and blunt dissection with the endoscope, and the seromuscular layer was incised at the distal end of the sub­mucosal tunnel with a needle -knife. After examination of the peritoneal cavity, the gastric mucosal incision was closed with endoclips. This technique was successfully performed in all fi ve animals, of which two animals had submucosal abscess without clinical symptoms. Our group demonstrated the usefulness of transgastric peritoneoscopy with a submu­cosal tunnel using the endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) technique in a porcine survival model [23]. The ESD technique was useful for making the narrow 5 cm long

submucosal tunnel, and transgastric endoscopic peritoneos­copy with a submucosal tunnel was successfully performed with no complications in all seven survival pigs. These experimental studies have shown that the submucosal tunnel technique provides safe transgastric abdominal access and reliable closure for NOTES peritoneal exploration with currently available devices.
The diagnostic effi cacy of transgastric peritoneoscopy was examined by Trunzo et al. [24]. In their study, four patho­logic lesions, including small bowel ischemia, small bowel perforation, colonic perforation, and simulated gangrenous cholecystitis, were created in fi fteen porcine models, and these animals were randomized for attempted identifi cation of these lesions by both transgastric and laparoscopic explo­ration. Although laparoscopic exploration was more sensi­tive than transgastric NOTES peritoneoscopy (77% versus 61%), NOTES was 100% specifi c with 100% positive predic­tive value compared with values of 93% and 92%, respec­tively, for laparoscopy.
A few experimental studies have investigated the feasibil­ity of transcolonic/transrectal endoscopic peritoneoscopy. In 2007, Fong et al. fi rst reported an experimental study on transcolonic access of the abdominal cavity for peritoneal exploration [25]. Colonic incision was made with a needle ­knife in the anterior wall at a distance of 15 –20 cm from the anus. After endoscopic peritoneal exploration, the incision site was closed with endoclips, endoloops, or a prototype closure device. Upper abdominal organs were identifi ed in all six pigs, and all pigs were alive for two weeks without complications. To reduce the risk of injury to abdominal organs and to enable sterile introduction of the endoscope, Wilhelm et al. developed a sigmoid colonic access method [26]. First, a fl uid peritoneum was made through a Veress
needle with instillation of a decontamination solution. A safe access site in the sigmoid colon was verifi ed using an endolumenal ultrasound probe inserted transanally, and a guide tube was inserted through the rectosigmoid colonic entry point into the abdominal cavity. A fl exible endoscope was inserted via the guide tube into the abdomen, and peri­toneal exploration was performed. After the inspection, closure of the entry site was performed surgically. Transco­lonic peritoneoscopy was accomplished without complica­tion in three acute and fi ve survival porcine models. At necropsy 10 days after the procedure, the colonic incision sites were well healed, and there were no signs of infection or peritonitis. Ramamoorthy et al. reported a method for transrectal endoscopic retroperitoneal access [27]. An umbilical port was placed for the pneumoperitoneum and visualization of pelvic access. A rectotomy was made 2 –3 cm above the dentate line, and a fl exible endoscope was introduced via the rectotomy into the retrorectal space. The space was widened by air insuffl ation and a dilation balloon, and the peritoneal cavity was entered with a needle -knife under laparoscopic visualization. After peritoneal explora­tion, the rectotomy was closed surgically under direct vision. Transrectal peritoneoscopy was successfully performed without injury to the abdominal and pelvic organs in three pigs. Although there are several problems related to the transcolonic approach, including heavy bacterial load, steril­ity of the colonic lumen, fecal contamination of the abdomi­nal cavity, adjacent organ injury, and tearing of the thin colonic wall during the procedure, the results of these studies demonstrated that transcolonic peritoneoscopy based on safe peritoneal access and the adequacy of the colostomy closure has signifi cant potential application for peritoneal exploration.

There are a few reports regarding transvesical peritoneos­copy for peritoneal exploration. Lima et al. assessed the feasibility of transvesical endoscopic peritoneoscopy in a porcine model [28]. Under cystoscopic guidance, a vesical hole was made with an open -ended ureteral catheter. An overtube was then placed in the transvesical position, and the ureteroscope was introduced into the peritoneal cavity. Peritoneal exploration, liver biopsy, and resection of the falciform ligament were performed using the ureteroscope in three acute and fi ve survival pigs. After the operation, a Foley catheter was placed for four days in all survival pigs. Transvesical peritoneoscopy provided a view of all intra ­abdominal organs and allowed the surgical procedures to be performed without complications. Necropsy 15 days after operation revealed complete healing of the bladder wall exit site and no signs of infection or adhesions in the peritoneal cavity. Subsequent experimental study in a human male cadaver also demonstrated that transvesical peritoneoscopy with a rigid ureteroscope allowed visualization of the abdominal cavity with good image quality and manipulation of the appendix without diffi culties [29]. The results of these experiments were promising and showed that NOTES peri-
toneoscopy via the transgastric, transcolonic, or transvesical approach is feasible and safe and provides excellent visuali­zation of the abdominal cavity and the ability to perform simple surgical procedures with currently available devices.
Human experience
Human clinical experience with NOTES for peritoneal explo­ration is limited, and there have been no reports of transco­lonic peritoneoscopy in clinical practice. Reported human experience with NOTES peritoneoscopy is summarized in Table 10.2 [30–40]. The fi rst report of NOTES for peritoneal exploration was in 2007 when transvesical peritoneoscopy was successfully performed in a male patient with prostatic adenocarcinoma [30]. Robotic prostatectomy was planned, and laparoscopic ports were placed in a standard fashion at fi rst. Under simultaneous laparoscopic and rigid cystoscopic guidance, cystectomy was made and a fl exible ureteroscope was advanced into the abdominal cavity with a guidewire. Transvesical peritoneoscopy was performed to confi rm position and plan suprapubic tube placement for reducing the duration of the indwelling urethral catheter postopera­tively. Robotic prostatectomy was then completed, and the

cystectomy site was closed with sutures. No perioperative complications were observed.
Several previous reports have shown the feasibility of transgastric endoscopy for peritoneal exploration. In 2008, our group reported natural orifi ce transgastric peritoneos­copy for pre -operative staging in a pancreatic cancer patient [31]. The patient was scheduled to undergo staging laparos­copy for pancreatic body cancer. Initially, we made a 3 cm long narrow submucosal tunnel by ESD technique. The endoscope was introduced into the abdominal cavity through the submucosal tunnel, and a Veress needle was then placed to insuffl ate CO
and monitor for pneumoperitoneum. Peri-
2
toneal exploration was performed without laparoscopic assistance. The transgastric endoscope provided an excellent view for cancer staging and could be directed to different areas of the abdominal cavity with the standard endoscopic techniques of rotation, torque, and retrofl exion. After con­fi rmation of operative curability, the patient subsequently underwent standard open distal pancreatectomy and an uneventful postoperative course. Zorron et al. reported clinical diagnostic application of transvaginal endoscopic peritoneoscopy for cancer staging in a female patient with suspicion of peritoneal carcinomatosis [32]. A colonoscope was inserted into the abdominal cavity through a small inci­sion in the vagina, and CO
pneumoperitoneum was estab-
2
lished through the working channel of the endoscope using a laparoscopic insuffl ator. Peritoneal inspection revealed a left ovarian tumor and liver and peritoneal metastases. The lesions were biopsied, and the vaginal wound was closed surgically under direct vision. Pathological examination con­fi rmed the diagnosis of ovarian cancer with peritoneal car­cinomatosis. The patient recovered well and did not require postoperative analgesia.
Several pilot studies determined the feasibility and safety of transgastric endoscopic peritoneoscopy in human beings. Nau et al. assessed the feasibility and accuracy of diagnostic transgastric peritoneoscopy in patients who were scheduled to undergo staging laparoscopy and operation for pancreatic head mass [37]. In this study, 20 patients successfully under­went diagnostic laparoscopy followed by transgastric perito­neoscopy under laparoscopic guidance. The fi ndings of transgastric exploration corroborated those of laparoscopic exploration for surgical decision making in 19 of 20 patients (95%). Although the time of completion of transgastric peri­toneoscopy was longer than that of staging laparoscopy, the time required for transgastric exploration decreased with experience. No signifi cant complications related to the trans­gastric peritoneoscopy occurred, and 14 patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy and 6 underwent palliative gas­trojejunostomy. Their group evaluated the safety of trans­gastric peritoneoscopy to access the peritoneum and perform adhesiolysis without laparoscopic visualization in patients undergoing laparoscopic Roux -en-Y gastric bypass for morbid obesity [39]. For this study, a small gastrotomy was
created at the anterior wall of the stomach with a needle ­knife, and the gastrotomy was widened with a dilation balloon. After the transgastric peritoneoscopy, laparoscopic gastric bypass was completed using the gastrotomy for sub­sequent gastrojejunostomy creation. The initial 20 patients underwent transgastric peritoneoscopy with pre -insuffl ation of the abdomen, and the peritoneal cavity was successfully accessed in the second 20 patients without pre -insuffl ation. During transgastric peritoneoscopy, six occult umbilical hernias, one inguinal hernia, and one hiatal hernia were noted. Intra -abdominal adhesions were observed in twenty patients, and endoscopic adhesiolysis was performed in fi ve patients. Although there were no major complications asso­ciated with transgastric peritoneoscopy, nine small burn wounds were made in the process of transgastric peritoneal access, including four burns on the abdominal wall and fi ve on the left lobe of the liver. This group also investigated the risk of infectious complications related to transgastric endo­scopic peritoneoscopy [40]. Their study included 40 patients scheduled for laparoscopic gastric bypass. Patients received pre-operative intravenous antibiotics and no gastric decon­tamination. Saline aspiration samples were obtained from the gastric lumen prior to the gastrotomy and from the peritoneal cavity after transgastric access. The median numbers of colony -forming units (CFU) from the gastric and peritoneal samples were 980 and 323 CFU/ml, respectively. Although cross -contamination of the peritoneal cavity with species isolated from the stomach was documented in eight patients, there were no infectious complications. One port ­site infection occurred, but there were no intra -abdominal infections. Sub -analysis of 15 patients receiving proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) was performed. The bacterial counts of the gastric and peritoneal samples from patients receiving PPIs were greater than those from patients not receiving PPIs, but the subgroup on PPIs did not experience an increase in infectious complications.
There are two pilot studies to assess the ability of trans­gastric endoscopy to approach and visualize the abdominal organs. Steele et al. evaluated the potential feasibility of transgastric peritoneoscopy in assessing different regions inside the abdomen in three patients undergoing laparo­scopic gastric bypass [34]. Systematic evaluation of the liver, the epigastric area, and the small intestine was achieved through the transgastric endoscope, without laparoscopic assistance. It was diffi cult to navigate the transgastric endo­scope to the right lateral and superior segments of the liver. Nikfarjam et al. examined the effi cacy of various methods of anterior gastric access for diagnostic transgastric peritone­oscopy in patients undergoing planned laparoscopic gas­trectomy [38]. After performing laparoscopic abdominal exploration in a standard fashion, transgastric abdominal access was independently established by a Seldinger tech­nique. Visualization of all four abdominal quadrants was attempted with the transgastric endoscope. A total of nine
110

procedures were performed in eight patients. The gastrec­tomy site was the body in three patients, the lesser curvature in three, the greater curvature in one, the fundus in one, and the antrum in one. The transgastric endoscope provided satisfactory navigation to the right upper and both lower quadrants. Navigation to the left upper quadrant, specifi cally to the spleen, was diffi cult and could be successfully achieved in only one patient, in whom the gastrotomy site was at the greater curvature. There were no major complications.
Surgical technique
Transgastric peritoneoscopy with the submucosal tunnel technique
The submucosal tunnel technique using the ESD method appears to be the most reliable technique for safe transgastric peritoneal access and secure gastric closure with current commercially available devices [41]. This technique appears to have several advantages: (i) the procedure can be accom­plished with commercially available equipment; (ii) the offset mucosal entry site is distant from the seromuscular exit site, and the submucosal tunnel can minimize intraperi­toneal leakage of gastric contents during the operation; (iii) it can provide scope stabilization; (iv) after withdrawal of the endoscope into the stomach, gastric distention can be maintained without obvious pneumoperitoneum, and it allows satisfactory gastric closure with a better endoscopic
view and working space; (v) the two approximated surfaces of the longitudinal narrow tunnel bond immediately and promote wound healing; and (vi) the ESD technique is useful for safe creation of an adequately sized submucosal tunnel [21–23,31,42–44]. This chapter outlines our tech­nique of transgastric peritoneoscopy with a submucosal tunnel technique for preoperative pancreatic cancer staging (Video 10.1).
Under general anesthesia, the patient is placed in the left lateral decubitus position. Antibiotics are intravenously administered at the start of the procedure. The abdomen and the oral fi eld are prepared and draped in a sterile manner. A single -channel fl exible upper gastrointestinal endoscope with a transparent hood is used. The endoscope and all accessories are subjected to high -level disinfection and gas sterilization. CO
insuffl ation with an endoscopic CO 2 regu-

lation unit is used to prevent bowel dilatation and pneu­moperitoneum during the procedure.
First, a 5 cm long narrow submucosal tunnel is created in the anterior wall of the stomach by the ESD technique. The site for creation of the submucosal tunnel is selected using the imprint of the operator ’s fi nger pressure on the abdomi­nal wall to prevent injury to adjacent organs. After injection of normal saline solution into the submucosal layer (Figure
10.1), an initial small incision is made in the submucosal cushion with a Flex knife (KD -630L; Olympus Medical Systems Co., Tokyo, Japan) (Figure 10.2). This incision allows an insertion of an insulation -tipped (IT) knife

(KD-610L; Olympus), and the mucosal incision is extended to a length of 2 cm (Figure 10.3). Submucosal dissection is then carried out carefully with the IT knife to create a lon­gitudinal submucosal tunnel (Figures 10.4–10.6). A small incision in the seromuscular layer is made in the distal end

of the submucosal tract with the Flex knife (Figure 10.7), and the incision is enlarged with a 15 mm endoscopic dila­tion balloon (CRE5842; Boston Scientifi c, Natick, MA, USA) (Figure 10.8). The endoscope is then advanced into the peritoneal cavity, and peritoneal exploration is performed with standard endoscopic techniques such as advancement, withdrawal, torque, and retrofl exion of the endoscopic shaft, as well as movement of the endoscopic tip. The trans­gastric endoscope provides an excellent view of the abdomen
