摘要：
A device and method for remodeling or partitioning a body cavity, hollow organor tissue tract includes graspers operable to engage two or more sections of tissuewithin a body cavity and to draw the engaged tissue between a first and second membersof a tissue remodeling tool. The two or more pinches of tissue are held in completeor partial alignment with one another as staples or other fasteners are driventhrough the pinches, thus forming a four-layer tissue plication. Over time,adhesions formed between the opposed serosal layers create strong bonds thatcan facilitate retention of the plication over extended durations, despitethe forces imparted on them by stomach movement. A cut or cut-out may be formedin the plication during or separate from the stapling step to promote edge-to-edgehealing effects that will enhance tissue knitting/adhesion.
