The surgical device (200) includes a handle assembly (210) including a drive mechanism actuatable by a trigger (214)； and an endoscopic assembly (230) including a proximal end portion extending from the handle assembly (210)； a distal end portion pivotably connected to the proximal end portion of the endoscopic assembly (230)； and a rotatable inner actuation shaft extending from the handle assembly (210) and into the distal end portion of the endoscopic assembly (230), the inner actuation shaft including a flexible portion extending across the pivot connection. The surgical device (200) includes an end effector (300) selectively connectable to the distal end portion of the endoscopic assembly (230) and to a distal portion of the rotatable inner actuation shaft. The end effector (300) includes a splined inner tube (338) rotatably supported in an outer tube (332)； and a plurality of surgical anchors loaded in the inner tube (338) of the end effector (300). A timing system allows removal of the end effector (300) at a defined trigger position.1/29 112b 116 100 114b 120 130 112a 114a 134 110 132 1 6 FIG. 1 100 112a 114a 13410 136 13 10132 120 114b 112b FIG. 2
