Abstract
A natural orifice translucent endoscopic surgery (NOTES) comprises a thin, flexible body preferably made from a lubricious film. The port body also includes a coupler to removably attach the port body to an endoscope received through the port body. According to embodiments, the port body also includes a structurally modifiable port body that can be modified while the port body is within the patient. In one embodiment, the port body is constructed with a channel that preferably coils around the port body. The channel can be inflated and deflated to provide relative degrees of rigidity to the port body.
