Date:12/17/2007

REDMOND, Wash., Dec. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Incisionless surgery is the most significant advancement in surgical medicine in decades. It is being rapidly adopted by a wide variety of academic and private hospitals around the world, with over 700 StomaphyX(TM) and EsophyX(TM) procedures already performed globally.
