Absorbable ligation loops for flexible endoscopy: a necessary tool for natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery

Background - One of the main challenges of natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) remains the development of safe and reliable tools. In this study, we introduce the first absorbable ligatures specifically designed for NOTES. - Objective - To determine the feasibility of a new absor...
