Abstract

A method for removing materials from a subject can include inserting an endoscope into the subject through an esophagus of the subject; introducing, through a cavity wall of a stomach of the subject to access a site within the subject outside the stomach, an endoscopic tool coupled with the endoscope; actuating a cutting assembly of the endoscopic tool to cut material at the site, the material associated with at least one of a pancreatic fluid collection in a pancreas of the subject or an extra-pancreatic fluid collection external to the pancreas; and applying suction to a first end of an aspiration channel of the endoscopic tool to remove the material through the aspiration channel, the aspiration channel extending from the first end to a second end at an opening of the cutting assembly.
