摘　　要：Natural orifice translumenal surgery(NOTES) has garnished significant attention from surgeons and gastroenterologists,due to the fusion of flexible endoscopy and operative technique.Preliminary efforts suggest that NOTES holds potential for a less invasive approach with certain surgical conditions.Many of the hurdles encountered during the shift from open to laparoscopic surgery are now being revisited in the development of NOTES.Physician directed efforts,coupled with industry support,have brought about several NOTES specific devices and platforms to help address limitations with current instrumentation.This review addresses current flexible platforms and their attributes,advantages,disadvantages and limitations.Natural orifice translumenal surgery (NOTES) has garnished significant attention from surgeons and gastroenterologists, due to the fusion of flexible endoscopy and operative technique. Preliminary efforts suggest that NOTES holds potential for a less invasive approach with certain surgical conditions. Many of the hurdles encountered during the shift from open to laparoscopic surgery are now being revisited in the development of NOTES. Physician directed efforts, coupled with industry support, have brought about several NOTES specific devices and platforms to help address limitations with current instrumentation. This review addresses current flexible platforms and their attributes, advantages, disadvantages and limitations.
