A spring-loaded reciprocable styles holder assembly (39) includes a cap (40) ; a hollow body element (41) partially nested within and reciprocable a major part of its length into the cap; a spring (54) urging the body element outwardly of the cap; and a styles (42) support ed at one end by the cap and extending through and beyond the body element. The remote end of the body element (41) has a small borehole (45) through which the styles (42) extends. The remote end is also provided with attachment means for a hypodermic needle (47) with slotted tip (51) for T-fastener (48) emplacement, the needle telescopically surrounding the full length of t he stylet. In a useful modification of the device and insufflation adapter (90) having a side port (94) for attachment of a hypodermic syringe is placed in line between the body element and the hypodermic needle. The styles holder assembly (39) with a slotted hypodermic (47) needle attached thereto may be used for emplacing a T-fastener (48) in a hollow organ of a person, such as the stomach.
