Appendix will be extracted through a mouth.
Within last two weeks three groups of researchers from France and the USA have declared successful tests of a new surgical technique, which allows getting access to internals through natural apertures on a body of the patient.
Endoscopic appliance is entered through a mouth, or through a vagina, and then penetrates into an abdominal cavity through a small puncture in walls of these bodies. The removed tissues, and also samples of tissues for the analysis are taken outside the same way.
Ohio University Medical Center experts have carried out ten biopsies through a mouth. Simultaneously two similar operations have been successfully carried out in New York and Strasbourg (France).
According to the researchers, these surgeries are first experiences in territory of Europe and the USA. At the same time the Indian surgeons declare, that they extract appendix through a mouth for a long time.
The new surgical technique named natural orifice translumenal endosurgery, NOTES, is a natural development of laparoscopic surgeries, however, it does not demand even small cuts on a body of the patient.
Absence of scars on a body and the short recovery period are NOTES` main advantages.
One more advantage - small risk of infectious complications which frequently arise after common surgeries.
Possible NOTES` negative consequences - internal hemorrhage and also the postoperative pains.
