ABSTRACT:
A method, system and apparatus for suturing tissue in an anatomical cavity during an endoscopic procedure includes a suturing instrument extending through a portal in the anatomical cavity wall for manipulating a needle to penetrate the tissue to form a looped portion of a length of suture material at an exit point in the tissue and to back the needle out of the tissue, and an anchor applier instrument extending through another portal in the anatomical cavity wall for positioning an anchor in engagement with the looped portion of the suture material to allow the suture material to be tensioned and secured to adjustably approximate the tissue.
