Endoscopic suturing devices were developed and tested in animals before human trials for gastro-oesophageal reflux. Early results show promise, but further improvements in flexible endoscopic suturing are needed.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Technology
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) management often involves invasive procedures.
  • Minimally invasive endoscopic techniques are increasingly sought for GERD treatment.
  • Development of effective endoscopic suturing is crucial for advancing endoscopic therapies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development of endoscopic sewing machines and associated equipment.
  • To review experimental and clinical studies on endoscopic suturing for GERD.
  • To identify limitations and future directions for flexible endoscopic suturing.

Main Methods:

  • Development of novel endoscopic sewing machines, knot tying, and thread cutting devices.
  • Pre-clinical studies in canine, porcine, and baboon models.

  • Review of peer-reviewed literature and abstracts on human endoscopic suturing for GERD.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful development of endoscopic sewing equipment.
    • Demonstration of feasibility in animal models.
    • Presentation of early clinical outcomes from European and US groups for GERD treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic suturing shows potential for treating gastro-oesophageal reflux.
    • Current studies have limitations requiring further investigation.
    • Improvements in flexible endoscopic suturing methods are necessary for wider clinical adoption.
