A modular device for tissue resection includes a housing, a motor, a tissue receiving chamber, a grabbing mechanism and a resection mechanism. The housing includes a guide track receiving lumen extending therethrough. The motor is mounted within the housing. The motor is selectively engageable with a guide track received within the guide track lumen to move the modular device therealong. The tissue receiving chamber is formed within the housing. The grabbing mechanism draws a selected portion of tissue into the tissue receiving chamber. The resection mechanism resects the selected portion of tissue.
