The paper presents the possibilities offered by NOTES technique in patients treated in intensive care units. They constitute a group of patients in whom establishing the correct diagnosis encounters many difficulties and in whom it is particularly desirable to minimize injury after surgical intervention. This is the reason why NOTES could be a convenient procedure to explore the peritoneal cavity. Moreover, in this research we would like to point out the necessity of overcoming barriers in the way of minimally invasive surgery.
