Transgastric hybrid cholecystectomy

Clinical application of natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery is under investigation. Preliminary results of transvaginal cholecystectomy in women and associated technical issues have been described. The technique and initial results of hybrid transgastric cholecystectomy are now reported.
