2023 Senior Fellows Program (2nd & 3rd Year) | August 2023-Hands on Demo: Suturing

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video demonstrates endosuturing using the Apollo Endosurgery Overstitch device. The device is mounted on a therapeutic scope and has a plunger for driving the needle. The video shows the process of mounting the device and attaching the needle to it. The physician demonstrates how to throw a stitch by driving the needle through the tissue and grabbing the suture. The process is repeated several times to create a running suture. Once the suturing is complete, the video shows how to remove the needle and attach a cinch. The cinch is used to tighten the suture and cut the needle, completing the procedure. The video emphasizes the importance of proper technique and caution to avoid injury.
