Reviewer's report:
Dear Editor-in-chief,
I read the case report entitled '' Endoscopic-ultrasound-assistedtransmural
cholecystolithotomy after placement of a novel, fully covered metal stent: initial
feasibility study using a porcine model'' that you sent me for review and I am
writing hereby in order to send you my comments.
The native English language is used in an acceptable level. Despite the fact that
the experimental models, in my opinion, are limited in number for this study, I
think that this experimental study contributes to the development of minimally
laparoscopic surgeries with a special benefit of the patients. So, I suggest the
publication of this expermental paper without further revision and comments.
Yours sincerely,
Pitiakoudis Michael
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
