Abstract

Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) continues to play an important role in surgery as an alternative to traditional open surgery as well as traditional laparoscopic techniques. Since the 1980s, technological advancement and innovation has seen surgical techniques in MIS rapidly grow as it is viewed as more desirable. MIS, which includes Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) and Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS), is less invasive and has better cosmetic results. The technological growth and adoption of NOTES and SILS by clinicians in the last decade has however not been uniform. We review the differences in new developments and advancement in the different techniques in the last ten years. We also aim to explain these differences as well as the implications for the future.
