ABSTRACT:
The invention is an endoscopic device comprising an elongated flexible insertion tube, either one or two linear staplers permanently fixed to the distal tip of the flexible insertion tube, and a video camera on the distal tip to provide real time viewing of the stapling site. Each of the linear staplers is adapted to insert one or more rows of staples into tissue held between the stapler jaws. At least one of said staplers comprises a knife blade that is movable parallel to the rows of staples to cut the tissue after staples have been fired. The endoscopic device of the invention can be used in a variety of surgical procedures.
