TLDR
In this article, a system for endoscopic suturing is provided having an endoscope, such as a gastroscope, with a distal end (14b) locatable in the body of a patient and a flexible shaft (14a) extending to the distal extension of the endoscope.Abstract:
A system (10) for endoscopic suturing is provided having an endoscope (14), such as a gastroscope, with a distal end (14b) locatable in the body of a patient and a flexible shaft (14a) extending to the distal end, a flexible accessory tube (12) coupled to the endoscope (14) to flex relative to the endoscope's shaft (14a), and a tip (26) coupled to the shaft (14a) of the endoscope having an opening (26a) through which one end of the accessory tube (12) is received. A tissue suturing instrument (16) and a suture securing instrument (130) are provided each having a sufficiently flexible shaft locatable through the accessory tube (12).read more
