Though wound healing may be improved, the danger of internal leakage and subsequent infection is a serious one - particularly with cuts through the stomach or colon. 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.
