My Notes

While at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Buscaglia took part in research pioneered by the institution that may further advance minimally invasive endoscopic procedures. His work with natural orifice transluminal endoscopic sugery (NOTES), an experimental surgical technique where abdominal operations can be performed with an endoscope passing through a natural orifice and eliminating abdominal incisions, is considered the newest frontier in minimally invasive surgery by many endoscopy experts.
