Abstract:
There is a particular need for inexpensive, simple multipurpose suturing methods that can be used for most applications. Such devices are in advanced stages of development and early clinical use. Complex procedure-specific devices that fix large-volume procedures such as reflux or obesity may well be needed but will need to prove their value in clinical studies.
