Totally N.O.T.E.S.
N.O.T.E.S. = Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery
Right after the publication of a report of transvaginal cholecystectomy by a team of New York doctors, an independant team of surgeons in France published videos of Operation Anubis.
An illustration of the procedure.
The NOTES multidisciplinary team led by Professor Jacques Marescaux.
On April 2nd 2007, at the University Hospital of Strasbourg, Professor Jacques Marescaux and his team, B. Dallemagne, MD, S. Perretta, MD, D. Mutter, MD, PhD, FACS, A. Wattiez, MD, D. Coumaros, MD, successfully performed the first no scar surgery. This first human incisionless operation was carried out using a flexible endoscope for transvaginal cholecystectomy in a 30-year-old woman with symptomatic gallstones.
The New York operation was carried out with laparoscopic ports in place in order to assist in case of problems with the NOTES. However, the French team performed the procedure completely scarless.
You can view the video of the procedure if you register in Websurg.

Yenjai, *phoooooiisshhhhhh h h h h*…. ok ok.. back on solid ground.
Dr. Bernard,ask u an irrelevant question? I received a comment from some blogs e.g. eastcoast life but their sites don’t allow anonymous comments. How to get abt this and write comments?
Alternately, there is a less expensive way to expell gallstones and that is by drinking a concoction of lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil.
Bengbeng, no problem..

Cocka Doocle, yup.. heard of that too?
It’s a popular recipe indeed… there are various combinations, some use apple cider, lemon, usually there’s olive oil in it… read the comments in this post.
I’ve seen many patients try that.. they pass out black bead-like “stones” in the motion. Those are NOT the stones from the gallbladder. The recipe probably creates the “stones” in the intestines, which passes out.
The symptoms, IF they were caused by gallbladder stones in the first place, will still persist. Do the scan again and the stones will still be there.
fuiyohhhhhhhhh…dem jeles jek….hahhahhaa…so this june mia meeting…lu kena belanja liao..mana mau lali?..
