This is discriminatory. This surgery is unavailable to men because of the obvious lack of a vagina. Class action lawsuit, anyone?

It certainly does redefine "minimally invasive." I suppose they'll have to learn how to send one of those RotoRooter snakes up your ass, if you're a guy. Now THAT'S colonoscopy!
I'm not sure I can think of any medical procedures I'd want done rectally, up to and including the ones that are supposed to be conducted with that particular orifice. Call me when they figure out how to remove an impacted molar by that route.
