Doctors are also still using traditional laparoscopic surgical tools - not ideal, because they aren't as flexible as surgeons really need for such extensive internal maneuvering. So far, however, several surgical teams in the U.S. have performed partial hysterectomies and removed appendixes, gallbladders and kidneys via patients' natural orifices, and are hoping to attempt more complicated gastrointestinal procedures in the future. But the technique is still highly experimental. "This...
