Surgical Procedures: Gallbladder removal through mouth

In 2010, UC San Diego performed a clinical trial operation where they removed a woman's gallbladder through her mouth.  The surgery is called NOTES (natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery) which was done as part of a study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the oral and transvaginal NOTES compared to laparoscopy, measuring primarily the differences in terms of pain levels, cosmetic outcomes and costs.
