The apparatus having a proximal portion and a distal portion, with the distal portion including a piercing end for forming a small percutaneous incision or puncture to enable the distal portion be inserted into the being's body to a desired internal position without the use of a trocar or other introducing device. The distal portion of the apparatus is elongated and has a longitudinal axis. An actuatable mechanism, e.g., a pair of moveable jaws, is located at the distal portion and is arranged to project outward laterally of the longitudinal axis for engagement with tissue located at the operative site to perform some operation, e.g., clamping. The actuatable mechanism is actuated by the proximal portion of the apparatus.
