Abstract: A modular endoscope system comprises an exoskeleton, a camera unit couplable to the exoskeleton, a therapeutic unit couplable to the exoskeleton, a steering unit couplable to the exoskeleton, and a control unit couplable to the exoskeleton. A method for building a modular endoscope comprises determining camera and therapeutic capabilities of the endoscope, selecting an exoskeleton for the endoscope, attaching a camera unit and therapeutic unit, if such capabilities are determined, to the selected exoskeleton to satisfy the determined capabilities, and attaching a control unit to the exoskeleton to control any camera unit and therapeutic unit attached to the exoskeleton. A method of processing modular endoscope components for performing a surgical procedure comprises identifying a patient to receive a treatment, selecting components of the endoscope to perform the treatment, treating the patient with the endoscope, and deconstructing the components of the endoscope into reusable and disposable components.

Abstract: A method of withdrawing an endoscope from anatomy comprises inserting the endoscope into the anatomy to deliver a distal end of the endoscope to a location, positioning a guide sheath around a proximal end of the endoscope, sliding the guide sheath along the endoscope to reach the distal end and withdrawing the endoscope from the guide sheath and anatomy. A system for intraoperatively attaching a suturing device to an in-situ endoscope comprises an insertion sheath comprising an elongate tunnel body extending between proximal and distal ends and a slit extending axially along the elongate tunnel body, and a suturing device couplable in a releasable manner to an endoscope. A reinsertion sheath for an endoscope comprises an elongate body comprising proximal and distal ends and a skin extending axially between the proximal and distal ends, and a slit extending along the shaft to allow circumferential expansion of the elongate body.

Abstract: A direct peroral cholangioscopy method comprises inserting an endoscope into a guide sheath, inserting the guide sheath and endoscope into a duodenum, extending a tissue retrieval device through the endoscope into the duodenum, extending an anchor wire into the duodenum, collecting biological matter with the tissue retrieval device, and withdrawing the cholangioscope and tissue retrieval device from the duodenum along the anchor wire. A cholangioscopy system comprises a steerable guide sheath and a cholangioscope comprising a shaft extending to a distal end face for displacement within the steerable guide sheath, a tool lumen extending along the shaft and exiting at the distal end face, an anchor lumen entering the shaft between a proximal end portion and the distal end face and exiting at the distal end face, and an exchange lumen extending from the tool lumen to an exterior of the shaft at the distal end face.

Abstract: A surgical instrument comprises an elongate body comprising a proximal end portion and a distal end portion and a tissue separator coupled to the distal end portion that is configured to engage sample tissue for collection, wherein the tissue separator is at least partially made from a material that allows light to pass through the tissue separator. A method of collecting biological matter using a tissue retrieval device comprises inserting the tissue retrieval device into anatomy of a patient, guiding a tissue collector of the tissue retrieval device to a target tissue, viewing the target tissue through the tissue collector and collecting biological matter from the target tissue with the tissue retrieval device.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for kidney stone management are provided. A device can include a medical apparatus comprising a kidney stone blocker configured to (i) remain in a human kidney after deployment and (ii) prevent passage of a kidney stone greater than a predetermined size into a ureter while allowing urine to pass to the ureter, and an elongated, tubular member mechanically coupled to the kidney stone blocker and configured to be situated in the ureter.

Abstract: A forceps having at least a first jaw with a longitudinal axis is disclosed. The first jaw can include a body portion, a first flange, a second flange and a cam pin. The first flange can define a first cam slot with a longitudinal extent along the longitudinal axis. The second flange can be spaced from the first flange a distance transverse to the longitudinal axis of the first jaw and can have a second cam slot. The cam pin, with a longitudinal axis, can be moveably secured within the first cam slot and the second cam slot. A diameter of the cam pin can be less than a width between a first longitudinal edge that defines a first side of each of the first cam slot and the second cam slot and a second longitudinal edge that defines a second opposing side of each of the first cam slot and the second cam slot so that the cam pin is moveably received by both the first cam slot and the second cam slot. With the first jaw pivoted to at least a first position, the cam pin and first flange can be configured such that the first longitudinal edge is contacted by the cam pin but the second longitudinal edge is spaced from the cam pin. The cam pin and second flange can be configured such that the first longitudinal edge is spaced from the cam pin but the second longitudinal edge is contacted by the cam pin.

Abstract: A method for treating target tissue comprises introducing a portion of a surgical device into a patient, the surgical device having a treatment end, positioning the treatment end of the surgical device adjacent to the target tissue, and administering a devascularizing material to the target tissue. The devascularizing material, after a time period, is able to devascularize the target tissue. A surgical device comprises a shaft extending between proximal and distal portions, a treatment end located at the distal portion, where the treatment end administers the devascularizating material to a target tissue.

Abstract: Surgical forceps can include a drive pin an outer tube, a first jaw, a second jaw, and an inner tube. The outer tube can define a longitudinal axis. The first jaw can be pivotably connected to the outer tube. The first jaw can include a pair of flanges located at a proximal portion of the first jaw, where each flange can include a track receiving the drive pin. The inner tube can be located within the outer tube and can extend along the longitudinal axis. The inner tube can include a pair of arms extending from a distal portion of the inner tube. The drive pin can be securable to the pair of arms. The inner tube can be translatable within the outer tube to drive the drive pin along the tracks to move the second jaw between open and closed positions.
