ASGE Advanced Endoscopic Lesion Resection Course | November 2022-Endoscopic Suturing

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video features a demonstration of the Apollo OverStitch device being used for suturing purposes in an endoscopic procedure. The device requires a two-channel scope, and it is shown being fitted onto a Fujinon scope. The video highlights the process of loading the suture onto the device and demonstrates how to advance the scope in the closed position for better maneuverability. The procedure involves finding a location for suturing, loading the needle driver with the suture, and capturing the mucosa with the device. The video also mentions the use of a tissue helix for deeper bites. The suturing process is shown, including the transfer of the suture to the needle driver and the successful completion of a simple stitch. The video ends with a discussion about using an overtube and the potential for suturing stents in place. The presenters also answer questions from the audience about stent fixation and other applications of suturing devices. No credits are mentioned in the video.
