Abstract
A method of suturing provides an endoscopic suture system. The endoscopic suture system has a needle coupled with a suture. The needle is configured to rotate in a first rotational direction. The system has a cable configured to move in a first direction and a second direction. The cable and the needle are configured to movably couple and uncouple. When the cable and the needle are coupled, movement of the cable in the first direction causes rotation of the needle in the first rotational direction. The method pulls the cable in the second direction, without rotating the needle, to cause coupling of the cable with the needle. The method pulls the cable in the first direction, after the needle and the cable are coupled, to rotate the needle.
