ABSTRACT:
An endoscopic tissue manipulator (2) has jaw surfaces (20, 22) with peaks (24) and troughs (26) which engage when the jaws (10, 12) are closed. The jaw surfaces have no sharp edges and have a gap (75) therebetween when the jaws are closed to minimize damage to tissue (76, 78). A pursestring suture can be quickly made by passing a suture-material-carrying needle (86) along axial grooves (100, 102) formed in the jaw surfaces while the jaws are closed and holding tissue therebetween. The needle is then removed leaving the suture material in the tissue. The suture material is then tied off creating the pursestring-type suture. The jaws manipulate the compliant tissue in a single movement to create multiple folds of the tissue which can be pierced by the suture-material carrying needle in a single stroke.
