    SurgeonsĀ go to new lengths to avoid scarring - CNN.com

    Fascinating--surgeries being performed using the body's natural openings.....is this the end of laproscopic surgery?

    Quoted: A 4-year-old boy lay on an operating table in Pittsburgh a few weeks ago with a tumor that had eaten into his brain and the base of his skull. Standard surgery would involve cutting open his face, leaving an ugly scar and hindering his facial growth as he matured. Since then, doctors in New York and in France have announced they removed gall bladders through the vaginas of two women. And doctors in India say they have performed appendectomies through the mouth.
