Summary: | A method of withdrawing an endoscope from anatomy comprises inserting the endoscope into the anatomy to deliver a distal end of the endoscope to a location, positioning a guide sheath around a proximal end of the endoscope, sliding the guide sheath along the endoscope to reach the distal end and withdrawing the endoscope from the guide sheath and anatomy. A system for intraoperatively attaching a suturing device to an in-situ endoscope comprises an insertion sheath comprising an elongate tunnel body extending between proximal and distal ends and a slit extending axially along the elongate tunnel body, and a suturing device couplable in a releasable manner to an endoscope. A reinsertion sheath for an endoscope comprises an elongate body comprising proximal and distal ends and a skin extending axially between the proximal and distal ends, and a slit extending along the shaft to allow circumferential expansion of the elongate body. |
