otherwise be necessary in the case of laparoscopy. Any adverse outcome associated with the viscerotomy is unac­ceptable unless no other conventional access option is avail­able. Major complications may arise from NOTES access, including fi stula and intracavitary abscess [8]. In translume­nal procedures for cancer resection, cancer cells can theoretically spill across into the peritoneal cavity and become a potential risk for abdominal cavity cancer cell implantation.
One of the major goals for NOTES is minimization of
peritoneal soiling (Figure 5.5) and robust closure of the
42
viscerotomy. The most important measure for avoiding peri­toneal contamination is to secure the point of access during the entire endoscopic procedure. Proposed solutions for these problems include the use of an overtube -style port (Figures 5.6 and 5.7) [20,21]. These ports, extending through the NO route to the entry point and inside the body cavity, could theoretically act as sterile conduits maintaining a stable and secure access and minimize peritoneal contami­nation. A sterile conduit will defi nitively be required for implantation of prosthetic devices such as mesh for hernia repair [22].

Access techniques: endoscopic ultrasound and pre -insuffl ation of the abdominal cavity
Another major concern for NOTES procedures is viscerot­omy technique safety. As in laparoscopic surgery, entering the abdominal cavity may incur damage of surrounding viscera and blood vessels (Table 5.4). Pneumoperitoneum has become a standard initial procedural step prior to gastric viscerotomy and transvaginal NOTES procedures [8,23].

Laparoscopic guidance has also been used for increasing NOTES access safety during this early period of adoption, and its combination with abdominal insuffl ation provides the most reliable method for choosing the transgastric access spot [24]. This can be accomplished by inserting a 5 mm

trocar and laparoscope through a pre -insuffl ated abdomen (Figure 5.8).
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has been proposed for guiding entrance to the peritoneal and thoracic cavities (Figure 5.9) [25], although it has not been used in clinical NOTES. In animal studies, EUS guidance appears helpful in targeting access into the peritoneal cavity and may increase safety for NOTES access into the mediastinum, stomach, and rectum [25,26]. However, EUS -guided access may not com­pletely eliminate the risk of adjacent visceral damage [26]. EUS-guided access assisted with pre -injection of water (hydroperitoneum) has been proposed to decrease these complications [27]. In the setting of portal hypertension, splenic vein thrombosis, and an atypical access location, e.g., close to the greater curve of the stomach, EUS could be useful to identify potential vessels within the intended vis­cerotomy site. It is unlikely that more widespread use of EUS will have a role in defi ning access over familiarity with surgi­cal anatomic landmarks.
Specimen removal
Specimen removal may be a vexing problem for the surgeon after successfully accomplishing a NOTES procedure through a size -limited viscerotomy. A serious complication such as esophageal laceration with mediastinitis after attempting to remove a calculous gallbladder transorally during a trans­gastric cholecystectomy procedure has been described [8]. Pre-operative ultrasound assessment of gallbladder contents

devices exist only as rigid instruments [31]. Although trans­vaginal access may allow passage of large specimens, such as the entire kidney [32], enlarging other visceral access sites may increase the risk for access bleeding, devascularization, and diffi culty in closure.
Oral route: transoral/transesophageal/trans gastric/transduodenal access
Since the fi rst description of a per -oral appendectomy case report more than 5 years ago [6], the oral route has been the most appealing access route for NOTES. The oral route has received attention for transoral esophageal submucosal myotomy for achalasia (Table 5.5) [7]. Also, transgastric endoscopic necrosectomy has an increasing role in the treat­ment of infected pancreatic necrosis in critically ill patients without organized necrosis in an earlier infected fl uid phase (ascites) [33], which is a NOTES procedure rapidly becoming a standard of care. The oral route provides access to four points of entry: sublingual, esophagus, stomach, and duode­num (Table 5.4). It enables procedures within the anterior cervical compartment (thyroid and parathyroid) and medi­astinum, as well as the thoracic, retroperitoneal, and perito­neal cavities.

has been proposed to predict success in transgastric NOTES gallbladder extraction [28].
Depending on the size and nature of the specimen and the viscerotomy size, extraction of the specimen may require morcellation and fragmentation [29]; however, this proce­dure may induce dissemination of an unsuspected malig­nant tumor [30]. Current commercially available morcellation
Transoral access
The transoral access [1] has been described as an exclusively endoscopic approach using three incisions in the vestibule of the mouth to achieve a triangulated access using rigid instruments (Figure 5.10) [1]. The aim of this approach is to enter into anatomically defi ned fascial planes in the neck, avoiding potential postoperative sequelae such as dysphagia following sectioning and scarring of the muscle layers of the neck. Indications and surgical technique are discussed in Chapter 18. This procedure uses standard rigid endoscopic instruments with a diameter of 3.7 mm and especially designed trocars with working length of 190 mm and diam­eter of 5.5 mm.
Transesophageal access
The most popular transesophageal access in humans has been through entering the submucosal space based on the submucosal endoscopy with mucosal fl ap (SEMF) technique. This transesophageal access has been explored for treatment of achalasia and it may also provide a valuable access to the mediastinal space, enabling NOTES cardiac intervention and mediastinal lymph node sampling [13,34,35].

mechanically tunneled and used as an offset entry into the thoracic or peritoneal cavity. At fi rst, a small submucosal bleb is created with a small volume of injected saline to identify the submucosal tissue plane (Figure 5.11a). Then, in the original method, high -pressure millisecond bursts of CO

5.11b). Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (0.83% solution) is then injected to prevent gas escape and to maintain the bleb. A small mucosal incision is made at the upper margin of the combination gas bleb and fl uid cushion with a needle knife. The submucosal dissection is then carried out using a biliary stone retrieval balloon through the mucosal incision. Balloon dissection has been effective enough to obviate the need for the initial gas dissection. Others dissect the submucosal space using electrocautery [37]. The mucosal entry site and dissected submucosal space should permit inserting an endo-

scope with an (optionally) attached endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) cap. Opposite and at least 4 –5 cm from the mucosal entry point and within the submucosal space, the muscular layer can be incised or resected by the cap EMR technique to create an open myotomy into the mediastinum (or peritoneal cavity) (Figure 5.11c). Key to this method, the isolated overlying mucosa is used as a biologic safety fl ap valve to prevent contamination through the myotomy. At the end of the procedure, the mucosal entry site can be closed by simple mucosal apposition with clips or other closure devices (Figure 5.11d).

also useful for transgastric procedures since it permits in -line and secured positioning of the endoscope insertion tube [13,40]. Prerequisites for choosing an ideal gastric access spot to the peritoneal cavity are mid -distance from the greater and lesser curvatures and, consequently, to the main gastric vessels; a safe distance from other organs; and excellent access to the gastric wall for a strain -free closure [24]. The most ideal site for peritoneal access is along the anterior wall of the stomach, in the distal body (pre -antral). This access point allows the endoscope insertion tube to remain reason­ably straight for navigation within the abdominal cavity.

Gastrotomy with a pull -type sphincterotome, also called
Transgastric peritoneal access
Transgastric access allows entrance into the peritoneal and retroperitoneal cavities. For the peritoneal cavity, peritone­oscopy is the most common reported procedure in humans. It also allows inspection of the abdominal wall and adhesi­olysis [38]. For accessing the peritoneal cavity, the gastrot­omy should be initiated either with laparoscopic visualization or an alternative technique such as the percutaneous endo­scopic gastrostomy (PEG) approach to reduce the incidence of visceral injury associated with transgastric peritoneal entry [39]. The SEMF submucosal tunneling technique is
sphincterotome “cut” gastrotomy, was used to access the peritoneal cavity in the fi rst NOTES report from Kalloo and his colleagues [41]. In this method, initial entry to the peri­toneal cavity is established by using an electrosurgical endoscopic needle knife. The resultant fi stula is extended with a sphincterotome to a size (approximately 15 –20 mm) suffi cient for the endoscope insertion. A non -thermal or Seldinger -type needle is not used because puncture is diffi ­cult and does not allow easy passage of dilating devices. The use of this method has been declining in favor of balloon gastrotomy.

Initial access to the peritoneal cavity is also performed with a needle knife puncture. The gastrotomy is then created with a >18 mm diameter balloon dilator. This procedure can be facilitated by using a multilumen needle knife, which will allow immediate placement of a guidewire catheter. Once

placed, the guidewire can be left in place to serve as a visual marker. This can be helpful for localization during closure of the gastrotomy and should the endoscope inadvertently become withdrawn into the stomach.

advanced into the peritoneal cavity. This step of the proce­dure can be technically challenging because of any offset alignment of the endoscope relative to the balloon and its catheter, along with the inherent fl exibility of the endoscope insertion tube. This challenges a straight pushing force, resulting in the tip of the endoscope tending to defl ect away from a centered entry through the gastrotomy. This is most problematic if the access point within the anterior wall is too proximal, requiring the endoscope tip to be fl exed beyond 30–45 degrees. When the endoscope cannot pass through the entry, repeat dilation with a larger -diameter balloon or a supplemental electrosurgical incision may be required. Specially designed overtubes have been engineered to mini­mize this problem. Balloon gastrotomy has technical advan­tages to an electrosurgically cut gastrotomy, enabling a full-thickness opening in a more controlled fashion. Mechan­ical (expansile) disruption of the gastric wall may be less traumatic to blood vessels and reduce the risk of bleeding. In case of bleeding, the balloon may be used for tamponade. Novel combination multichannel devices with a needle knife, guidewire channel, and a balloon for the sequential enlargement may expedite the procedure (Figure 5.13) [42]. A modifi cation of this technique uses gastric full -thickness plication prior to balloon gastrotomy [43]. This creates a ridge of tissue that acts as a valve, allowing visualization while maintaining gastric distention when the endoscope is withdrawn from the peritoneum into the lumen.
PEG-assisted transgastric access (Figure 5.14)
The foundation of the percutaneous -assisted transgastric access technique is based on the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy described approximately 30 years ago. The anterior gastric wall is opposed against the abdominal wall by gastric insuffl ation, pushing away adjacent viscera and therefore minimizing injury to adjacent organs. Besides
safety, advantages of this technique may also include facilita­tion of the gastrotomy closure by placing stay sutures [44]. In one experimental study, the trocar used for puncturing the stomach can be used for creation and enlargement (balloon disruption) of the gastric point of entry. A hybrid needle grasper is then inserted through the same percutane­ous site to perform hybrid NOTES procedures [45].
Transgastric retroperitoneal access (Figure 5.15)
Current retroperitoneal access in humans is typically for transmural drainage of organized infected pancreatic necro­sis (Video 5.1). The ideal access site is opposite that for peritoneal access: posterior gastric wall, mid -position rela­tive to lesser and greater curve, and pre -antral (at 2 cm proximal to the incisura). Needle knife puncture followed by guidewire placement and balloon gastrotomy are used. This technique may also access small pancreatic tumors and, furthermore, assess the resectability of pancreatic tumors through endoscopic retroperitoneoscopy [46].
Transduodenal access
In the clinical setting, the transduodenal approach has been recently used by our group exclusively for endolumenally assisted perforated ulcer omental patch repair (unpublished) (Table 5.5). The procedure is started with the patient in the supine position. A laparoscopically assisted endoscopic pre ­evaluation of the stomach, duodenum, and abdominal cavity is undertaken. If the perforated ulcer allows insertion of a standard fl exible endoscope, translumenal omental patch repair is performed by navigating the per -orally inserted endoscope into the peritoneal cavity, which can be supplemented by balloon dilation. After multi -liter perito­neal saline irrigation, a free portion of omentum is grasped and drawn into in through the perforation (Figure 5.16a). The resulting omental plug is endolumenally fi xated using endoscopic clips (Figure 5.16b). If the ulcer size is smaller than 10 mm, a combined endolumenal -laparoscopically assisted omental plug is performed. The omentum is laparo­scopically directed to an open large hemostatic clip, used as a forceps, and the omental fi xation is then performed endo­scopically onto the duodenal mucosa (a similar technique is also used for perforated gastric ulcers).

Vaginal route: transvaginal access
Historically, the vaginal route was the fi rst access used for gynecologic endoscopy. Gynecologists pioneered the trans­vaginal access technique using a cul -de-sac approach called culdoscopy in the early 1940s. This fi rst version of culdos­copy consisted of inserting a rigid endoscope with a light source using a posterior cul -de-sac incision. This procedure was initially done with the patient in knee –chest position,

which permitted better visualization with the assistance of gravity and the negative pressure of the abdomen.
After a long hiatus and due to the increased preference for videolaparoscopy, the culdoscopy technique has been revisited for non -pelvic procedures [47,48]. In 2003 [48], a laparoscopic cholecystectomy human case was performed using a trocar placed in the cul -de-sac to allow insuffl ation, and assist visualization and specimen removal. The chole­cystectomy procedure was carried out using 2 –3 mm micro­laparoscopy ports to minimize visible scars. Laparoscopic surveillance was performed during the introduction of the vaginal trocar to prevent complications.
50
With the advent of NOTES, the vaginal route became appealing to minimize the use of surgical instruments through the abdominal wall. In 2007 the vaginal route was used for both instrumentation and visualization, which enabled the fi rst transvaginal laparoscopically assisted chole­cystectomies [49,50]. In this technique the laparoscope was used for visualization of the point of entry and one trocar was used for gallbladder retraction. Exposure of the gallblad­der remained an issue for these procedures until 2009, when totally transvaginal cholecystectomy was possible due to insertion of extra vaginal ports or a second endoscope used solely for gallbladder retraction [18]. The transvaginal route

may allow access to the retroperitoneal cavity, enabling sur­gical procedures on the kidney (and collecting system), adrenal, and distal pancreas [51]. As with any other access, the vaginal route has several advantages and disadvantages to be taken into account before its usage (Table 5.6).
Transvaginal access techniques
Most of the current transvaginal access techniques described for NOTES are adapted from the previous experience in culdoscopic procedures. Pre -operative gynecologic examina­tion and imaging studies such as pelvic ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) scan are advised to exclude operative contraindications, such as adhesions involving the pouch of Douglas [52]. In a study encompassing 1589 patients undergoing culdoscopy, 5.7% had abnormalities discovered during the pre -operative clinical examination (chiefl y endometriosis of the rectovaginal space or a fi xed retroverted uterus), precluding transvaginal access [53]. Inspection of the cervix therefore is important to identify potential contraindications such as endometriosis. Lateral displacement of the cervix to either side of midline signifi es endometriosis in women with infertility or pelvic pain. When the examiner attempts to push the cervix toward midline, the shortened ligament is stretched, eliciting pain. Some would consider this sign a contraindication to culdos­copy and an indication for laparoscopy [54].
