Abstract
A method of side-suturing a prosthetic to human tissue is disclosed. The method includes accessing a surgical site on a body portion of a patient; identifying the human tissue within the surgical site; endomechanically positioning the prosthetic adjacent the human tissue within the surgical site; aligning a surgical tool proximate the tissue with the prosthetic between the tool and the tissue, the surgical tool having an elongated member with distal and proximal ends; actuating the surgical tool in-situ to drive deployment members of the surgical tool outwardly away from the surgical tool, through the prosthetic and into the tissue; and retracting the deployment members back into the surgical tool, whereby the deployment members deploy a fastener to fixatedly suspend the prosthetic to the human tissue.
