OBJECTIVES
OBJECTIVES To present an initial experience with robotic natural orifice translumenal surgery (R-NOTES) inreconstructive urology using the da Vinci surgical system.

METHODS
METHODS In 10 female farm pigs (mean weight, 34.5 kg), 10 pyeloplasties (right 5, left 5), 10 partialnephrectomies (right 5, left 5), and 10 radical nephrectomies (right 5, left 5) were performed. The robot telescope and the first robotic arm were placed through a single 2-cm umbilical incision, and the second robotic arm was placed through the vagina.

RESULTS
RESULTS All 30 R-NOTES procedures were performed successfully without any addition of laparoscopic port or open conversion. Mean length of the umbilical incision was 2.6 cm. Mean operative time was 154 minutes, and mean estimated total blood loss was 72 mL. Mean warm ischemia time in the partial nephrectomy group was 25.4 minutes. There were no intraoperative complications. There were no robotic system failures during the entire experiment. We did not find any significant difference when comparing right-side and left-side procedures. When analyzing the learning curve, only robot preparation time reached a statistically significant inverse correlation with increasing number of cases (r 0.72, P .018).

CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS Robotic NOTES pyeloplasty, partial nephrectomy, and radical nephrectomy are feasible and safe in the porcine model. This approach has the potential for a less morbid and scarless outcome. Intracorporeal suturing is significantly enhanced using the robot, especially through the challenging translumenal natural orifice approach. Further development of robots adaptive to NOTES would boost efforts toward clinical NOTES applications.

Conclusion
• Communication skill is essential for scientists and engineers
• Publication is the goal of research
• Use Engineering Village effectively to gather research information
• Learn to inform and to persuade effectively
• Learn to convey your idea clearly
• Scientific research is not complete until the results have been published
• The education of a scientist is not complete until the ability to publish has been established
