That is the kind of sentiment that proponents of the technique are hoping for. Using patients' natural openings (the mouth, vagina or rectum) as entry points to the body is perhaps the intuitive next step to laparoscopic surgery - which, while significantly less invasive than open surgery, still requires several tiny incisions through the abdominal wall.

The procedure is far less invasive: a small device blows air into the rectum to inflate the bowel while a C.T. scanner takes X rays. Unfortunately, the results from early virtual colonoscopies did not measure up. In some studies, they missed half the polyps that needed to be caught...
