Application of a new Endoscopic Suturing Device for removal of gastric SELS
Abstract Text Achieving surgical-type sutures during invasive endoscopic procedures (dissection, full-thickness, NOTES) has always been a goal, even a dream, of interventional endoscopists. In this video, we describe a new endoscopic suturing device that can be used to close parietal defects (mucosal and muscular) in different gastric positions. It consists of a disposable Needle Holder and auto-locking surgical thread. The 3 cases correspond to full-thickness resections of SELs or GISTs at gastric antral, corporeal, and cardial sites. After resection using hybrid techniques (excavation, dissection), the parietal defect was closed with the help of SutuArt (Olympus). The new hand suture system appears to be effective in closure of gastric mucosal and muscular defects, and could find other endoscopic digestive applications.
