Abstract
The use of advanced surgical techniques in the realm of endoscopic and laparoscopic therapy is constantly evolving and for many surgical procedures these techniques are now considered the standard of care. In the USA, an estimated 14.2 million colonoscopies and 9 million esophagogastroduodenoscopies (EGDs) are performed annually in the USA [1, 2]. The therapeutic applications of these procedures have also been expanded in recent years.
