A surgical instrument for applying purse string sutures to tissue is provided that includes two circular discs that each have notches within a perimeter of the disc for receiving tissue and through which a suture wire may pass. The device also includes push plates for advancing the suture wires through the notches of the two circular discs and into portions of the tissue. Suture is placed within each push plate and is connected to ends of the suture wires. Suction is applied to the circular discs through a shaft to draw the tissue into the respective notches of the circular discs so that the suture wires may be advanced through the tissue and the sutures can then be pulled through the tissue to create two purse-string sutures.
