Abstract: Flexible robotic systems are provided for guidance and to facilitate reliable suturing within the gastrointestinal tract. Such robotic systems provide assistance, assurance, and/or validation to compensate for the level of skill and experience of the operator, and to expedite completion of bariatric procedures approached from within the stomach.

Abstract: A robotic system has a flexible portion adapted for insertion into the gastrointestinal tract and includes a suturing system with a needle holder. An actuator is coupled to the needle holder and is adapted to act on the needle holder arm and needle such that the needle can be repeatedly moved through a path. The actuator is driven by a drive mechanism from the robotic system.

Abstract: Mounting systems configured to operably couple a tool module with respect to a component of a medical instrument. In some aspects, the component to which the tool module is operably coupled is an elongate member that is suitable for passage through a natural orifice of the patient. The tool module may include a replaceable end cap having a needle holder adapted to pass a needle through tissue, and an actuator adapted to control movement of the needle holder arm. A suture needle with suture may be removably coupled to the needle holder. The instrument may be operably associated with a robotic system for robotic control of the component of the instrument with which the tool module is operably coupled, and/or the tool module.
