Abstract

The search for less-invasive approaches led to the birth of endoluminal surgery 40 years ago. The limited dexterity of flexible endoscopic systems generated an interest in the development of robotic platforms to encourage the adoption of surgical-like, bimanual techniques involving manipulation of tissues, thus favoring organ preservation. Nevertheless, the road ahead for endoluminal surgery is still at the beginning.
