Abstract

Methods and devices are provided for performing gastrectomies and gastroplasties. In one embodiment, a method includes gaining access to a stomach of a patient through an opening formed in the patient's abdominal wall and an opening formed in the patient's vaginal wall. Tissue attached to the stomach can be tensioned using a surgical instrument inserted through one of the abdominal and vaginal openings and can be separated from the stomach to free the stomach fundus using a dissecting surgical instrument inserted through another opening, e.g., through one of the abdominal and vaginal openings. The fundus can be at least partially transected using a surgical stapler inserted through one of the abdominal and vaginal openings, thereby forming a stomach ''sleeve''. In another embodiment, the method is modified to form another opening in the patient's abdominal wall instead of forming an opening in the vaginal wall.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to gastrectomy and gastroplasty and methods and devices for performing gastrectomy and gastroplasty. Background technique [0002] Obesity is a growing concern, especially in the United States, as the number of obese people continues to rise and as more is learned about its negative health effects. Morbid obesity, in which a person weighs 100 pounds or more above ideal body weight, in particular poses a significant risk of serious health problems. Therefore, a great deal of attention has been focused on treating obese patients. Surgical procedures to treat morbid obesity have included gastric bypass (gastric suture), adjustable gastric banding, as well as vertical gastric banding and sleeve gastrectomy (removal of the entire stomach or part of it). Such surgical procedures have increasingly been performed laparoscopically. The well-documented benefits of laparoscopic surgery include shorter post-operative recovery time,...
