摘要

A proximal housing for a full-thickness resection device (FTRD) is provided with a plurality of chambers (34) through which fasteners are introduced into a portion of tissue to be resected. The proximal housing has a noncircular cut-out (13) opposite the plurality of chambers to receive a noncircular endoscope (8). The proximal housing also is provided with a resection cavity (37) into which the tissue to be resected is to be received. In addition, shaft openings are provided through which mounting shafts may be inserted. A noncircular endoscope (8) is also disclosed for inserttion into the cut-out (13) whereby the endoscope has passages to house the functions of remote viewing, illumination, insufflation and irrigation.
