摘要:
A method of plicating a hollow organ by accessing the exterior of a hollow organ of a patient. The method includes the steps of grasping tissue on first and second sides of a greater curvature of the organ and forming a first fold along a length the greater curvature by attaching the first and second sides together along a first attachment line with a first plurality of fasteners. The fasteners have a first spacing therebetween. The method also involves the steps of grasping tissue on first and second sides of a greater curvature of the organ and forming a second fold about the first fold along a length the first attachment line by attaching the first and second sides together along a second attachment line with a second plurality of fasteners having a second spacing therebetween. Wherein the second spacing is less than the first spacing and wherein the second spacing is less than 2 cm.
