Endoscopic suturing devices offer interesting access for interventional procedures used on the gastrointestinal tract. For the time being, the main indication is endoluminal suturing at the gastroesophageal junction for the management of gastroesophageal reflux disease. There is some evidence that endoluminal endoscopic suturing offers an alternative to the closure of esophageal fistulas and to the fixation of feeding tubes and stents in the near future. A review of the literature found no anatomic data on wall layers stitched by sutures. The aim of this study was to determine the depth of sutures placed endoscopically in the esophagus of a human cadaver model.
