Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery Used for Perforated Viscus Repair Is Feasible Using Lower Peritoneal Pressures than Laparoscopy in a Porcine Model

Endoscopic ulcer repair appears technically feasible with similar clinical and infectious outcomes to laparoscopy. The lower required pneumoperitoneal pressures used in these NOTES techniques are recognizable different outcomes from laparoscopy and can be advantageous in critically ill patients.
