Abstract: The present subject matter provides a system for allowing controlled access of a tool to all sides of an elevated tissue in body of a patient, the system including: a rail configured to surround the elevated tissue; and at least one vehicle configured to move along the rail and carry at least one tool configured to manipulate the elevated tissue. Also provided is a method for cutting an elevated tissue in a body of a patient, the method including: inserting a rail to a vicinity of the elevated tissue; surrounding the elevated tissue with the rail; placing a vehicle on the rail; connecting a cutting device to the vehicle; and moving the vehicle along the rail while cutting the elevated tissue with the cutting device. Additional embodiments of the system and method are disclosed herein.

Abstract: An apparatus for suturing tissue, comprising: a needle having a beveled opening and housing multiple anchors, wherein each of said anchors comprises an elongated tubular body and a loop connected to said tubular body, and wherein a thread is threaded sequentially through the loops; and a pushrod configured to push each of said anchors towards the opening of said needle, to extract each respective anchor from the opening.
