Application of endoscopic suture machine: in vitro durability study

Aims Various endoscopic procedures had been developed such as endoscopic submucosal dissection and endoscopic bariatric surgery.However, such advanced procedures are mostly dependent on experiences of endoscopists.Numerous endoscopic devices had been invented in an effort to decrease procedural complication,but only a few of them had demonstrated improvements in closure strength and reproducibility.Thus,in this study,we evaluated the feasibility and reproducibility of the endoscopic suture machine and to identify the durability difference according to the location closure method.
