A NOVEL ENDOSCOPIC SUTURING DEVICE: COMPARISON WITH HAND-SEWN TECHNIQUES FOR GASTROSTOMY CLOSURE IN EX-VIVO PORCINE MODEL

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the development of a new endoscopic full-thickness suturing device for procedures such as managing perforations or fistulas. The device allows bidirectional suturing with control over direction and position, addressing limitations of current devices. An ex vivo experiment comparing the new device to hand-sewn techniques on pig stomachs showed higher leak pressure and comparable results to hand-sewn sutures. The device's advantages include bidirectional stitching, roll motion control, an additional instrument channel for forceps, and an intuitive controller for ease of use. Further studies are needed to evaluate the device's efficacy and safety compared to existing suturing devices.
