Abstract
A method for closing a wound in a mucosal layer of an organ wall of a patient includes threading a suture thread into the mucosal layer at a first position located on a first side of the wound, threading the suture thread at least once into a muscle layer of the organ wall, and threading the suture thread into the mucosal layer at a second position located on a second side of the wound that is opposite the first side of the wound. A method for resecting a lesion in a wall of an organ of a patient includes creating a wound in a mucosal layer of the wall of the organ by excising the lesion from the wall of the organ, and threading a suture thread through a series passes between the mucosal layer on a first side of the wound and the mucosal layer on a second side of the wound, the suture thread being threaded into a muscle layer of the wall of the organ in at least one pass of the series passes.
