According to SAGES (the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons) the era of the laparoscopic revolution is over, and the era of natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery is coming. Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) may provide the entry point for surgical interventions in the peritoneal cavity, thereby avoiding abdominal wall incisions. The aim of this paper was to present the very first NOTES cholecystectomy in Poland. A transvaginal access procedure was performed on 5th January 2009.
