Abstract: There is provided an endoscopic system. The system comprises a flexible endoscope insertable into a first tubular organ from a natural opening of a human body. The system further comprises an opening member which forms on a wall part of the first tubular organ an opening used to insert the endoscope into an abdominal cavity from the first tubular organ in the body, an anastomosing member which is able to anastomoses the first tubular organ with a second tubular organ in the abdominal cavity, and a cutting member with which the second tubular organ is able to be cut.

Abstract: An endoscopic treatment device is used with an endoscope. This treatment device includes a transmission member with a flexible structure having a distal end portion to be inserted into a body and can be operated outside the body, a push rod coupled to the distal end portion, and first and second connecting members rotatably coupled to the push rod. The treatment device further includes first and second arm members rotatably coupled to the distal end portion of the connecting member, a holding member rotatably holding the respective arm at a predetermined interval therebetween, and first and second actuating members integrally formed with the arm members and can open/close when the transmission member actuates the first and second connecting members and the first and second arm members through the push rod. This device also includes a needle mounted on at least one of the first and second actuating members.

Abstract: An endoscopic suturing instrument is equipped with a needle mounted at the distal end of the suturing instrument for the purpose of living-tissue punctures. An engaging mechanism is provided at least at the distal end of the needle for the purpose of connecting the thread while allowing it to move freely, and the suturing instrument includes a needle-driving mechanism to drive the needle. A loop-creating mechanism is used to create a first loop in the thread, by loosening the thread connected to the engaging mechanism. A catching mechanism is provided at the distal end of the suturing instrument to be inserted through the first loop to catch the thread. The thread caught by the catching mechanism can be moved freely. The needle-driving mechanism and the catching mechanism are mechanically coupled.

Abstract: A suturing device for an endoscope includes a curved needle rotatably attached on the distal end of the suturing device. A rotary member is provided on the rotation axis of the curved needle for rotating said curved needle and a connecting arm connects the curved needle to the rotary member. The center of curvature of the curved needle is aligned with the rotation axis of the curved needle and engaging means are provided at least at the pointed end of the curved needle for receiving thread.
