Core Tip	The recent development of an endoscopic suturing platform, the only such device that is currently available in the United States, has led to a rapid expansion of endoscopic suturing applications ranging from simple procedures such as stent fixation to more complex ones such as closure of large full thickness defects and primary and revisional bariatric endoscopic surgery.
