摘要：
A system for tissue approximation and fixation is described herein. A deviceis advanced in a minimally invasive manner within a patients body to createone or several divisions or plications within a hollow body organ. The systemcomprises a stapler assembly having a tissue acquisition member and a tissuefixation member. The stapler assembly approximates tissue from within the hollowbody organ with the acquisition member and then affixes the approximated tissuewith the fixation member. In one method, the system can be used as a secondary procedureto reduce the size of a stoma within the hollow body organ.
