Interdisciplinary Laparoscopic News From the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy
by Anja Hirschelmann and Rudy Leon De Wilde
Professor and Head of Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Gynecological Oncology, PIUS Clinic, Oldenburg, Germany (Rudy Leon De Wilde)
As obesity is increasing, it is important to investigate its impact on complications in laparoscopic surgery. In basic and advanced laparoscopic gynecologic procedures, no significant differences between normal-weight, pre-obese and obese women were found in terms of laparotomy conversion rate, intraoperative and postoperative complications. Therefore, obese women do not seem to be at a higher risk of complications during laparoscopic surgery [1–3].
The next major step forward in imaging technologies in the operating room could be cinematographic 3D.

Since its broad propagation in 2006/2007, the concept of natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) got widespread interest both in the surgical and gastroenterological communities. In a few years NOTES techniques, either transgastric, or transvaginal, or transrectal have been thoroughly described both in animals and in humans. These include appendectomy [1], cholecystectomy [2] and peritoneoscopy [3] mainly but even tubal ligation [4], oophorectomy [5], colectomy [6], nephrectomy [7] and gastric sleeve [8] although in a vast majority of cases this was done under hybrid conditions. Primary enthusiasm, however, was soon followed by frustration on both sides, since the technological barriers which had been precisely described in the so-called “white paper” [9] early in the development of NOTES turned out to be by far more difficult to overcome than expected.
