Surgical Sutures and Adhesives

Endoloop suturing of a mucosal defect using a two-channel scope has been shown to be efficacious [1] [2]. Recently, methods of simple, useful endoloop suturing with a single-channel scope have also been reported [3] [4]. However, fixing the first clip to determine the position of the endoloop is cumbersome. We have developed a new and efficient suturing method, the clip-fixed endoloop, that fixes the endoloop to the clip in advance.
