Device for creation of surgical stitches using endoscope, comprising kinematic chain as counter element

摘要

Two edges of tissue in particular of the stomach and intestine region are fastened after an operation with stitches performed with a needle guided by an endoscopic instrument. A counter element holding the tissue in position and providing the required counter pressure is made of a kinematic chain (3) assembled of a multitude of segments (5) connected with movable joints (4) and equipped with an integrated string (10,11,12). Each segment of the chain can be individually controlled and moved using a single operating element.
