Background:

  • Flexible endoscopy currently has limitations in performing certain surgical interventions.
  • Incisionless surgical procedures are highly desirable for patient recovery and reduced risk.
  • Advanced suturing techniques are needed to expand endoscopic capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the development of sewing machines for endoscopic suturing in the gastrointestinal tract.
  • To describe methods for knot tying and thread cutting during flexible endoscopy.
  • To present applications of endoscopic suturing in clinical scenarios.

Main Methods:

  • Development of specialized sewing machines capable of placing stitches endoscopically.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Implementation of knot-tying and thread-cutting mechanisms for flexible endoscopic use.
  • Evaluation of endoscopic suturing in various gastrointestinal applications.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful development of endoscopic sewing machines for single and multiple stitches.
    • Demonstration of effective knot tying and thread cutting during endoscopic procedures.
    • Successful application of endoscopic suturing for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, perforation closure, haemostasis, and device attachment.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic suturing significantly expands the scope of minimally invasive, incisionless surgical procedures.
    • The developed technology facilitates complex interventions within the gastrointestinal tract.
    • Endoscopic suturing holds promise for treating various gastrointestinal conditions and improving patient outcomes.
