Non-circular resection device and endoscope
First Claim
1. A proximal housing for a full-thickness resection device comprising:
- a plurality of chambers through which fasteners are introduced into a portion of tissue to be resected;
a noncircular cut-out formed in the proximal housing opposite the plurality of chambers to receive an endoscope;
a resection cavity into which the portion of tissue is to be received;
at least one shaft opening through which a mounting shaft may be inserted; and
a noncircular endoscope of substantially the same shape as the noncircular cutout inserted into said noncircular cut-out.

Abstract
A proximal housing for a full-thickness resection device (FTRD) is provided with a plurality of chambers through which fasteners are introduced into a portion of tissue to be resected. The proximal housing has a noncircular cut-out opposite the plurality of chambers to receive a noncircular endoscope. The proximal housing also is provided with a resection cavity into which the tissue to be resected is to be received. In addition, shaft openings are provided through which mounting shafts may be inserted. A noncircular endoscope is also disclosed for insertion into the cut-out whereby the endoscope has passages to house the functions of remote viewing, illumination, insufflation and irrigation.
