Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) is still a matter of scientific research. Moreover, the total number of peer-reviewed original papers published on NOTES has even increased compared to previous years. This holds true for all types of NOTES-related research topics. In addition, various surgical procedures such as hybrid-NOTES, single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), transvaginal surgery with rigid endoscopes, and transumbilical surgery with flexible endoscopes (E-NOTES), all of them adopting the concept of scar-less surgery have recently been integrated into clinical routine medicine at least in highly-specialized centers. The phrase "NOTES" has become a trademark for innovative, minimally-invasive surgery. The present manuscript summarizes selected articles, which have been published from September 2008 to August 2009 and are covering the "classical" NOTES approach, i.e. access via natural orifices (excluding the umbilicus) using flexible instruments.
