The acceptance and advancement of natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) has forced investigators to challenge many firmly accepted surgical practices. The most obvious one being: violating a remote hollow viscous that is uninvolved in the desired surgical intervention. This of course brings into question (1) "How much peritoneal contamination can be tolerated without raising infection risk?" and (2) "How will one repair this intended visceral injury?" This study is intended to bring to light what has been done in animal models, and further, how it will translate in to the now more important human arena.
