  • Fig. 3 shows a restrictive implant 10 being retained by plications 12 formed in stomach tissue.
  • the plications may be formed by grasping sections of tissue and suturing the tissue together to form pocket-like tissue structures 14.
  • Such structures are pocketlike in the sense that they have an interior space bounded by tissue, and at least one opening extending into the interior space.
  • the interior walls of the pocket may lie in contact with one another, collapsing the interior space in the same way the space within a shirt pocket is collapsed.
  • the pockets may also be tunnel-like in the sense that there may be openings on opposite sides of the interior space so that an instrument or portion of a medical device may be passed through the pocket. If necessary, more than two such openings may be provided in the pocket. In other embodiments, the pockets may be more tubular or tunnel-like.
  • the implant 10 includes leg members 16 that are retained within the pockets 14 of the plications 12. During implantation, the leg members may be inserted into the pockets 14, or the implant may be positioned before the plications are formed, in which case the placations 12 may be formed around the leg members 16.

  • pledgets, t-bars, etc. of the type described in connection with Figs. 26 A - 30B may be used to buttress the sutures/staples until such time as tissue adhesion occurs. Over time, adhesions form between the tissue surfaces held in contact by the sutures, thereby creating a much stronger bond between the tissue surfaces than would be achieved using sutures alone.
  • dissolvable or bioabsorbable sutures may be used to create the plications. The procedure illustrated in Figs.
  • Fig. 9B illustrates another configuration of tissue pocket 14c in which the contact lines forming plications 12c are oriented in shear. This configuration utilizes three plication folds and forms a very long region of serosal contact 220.

  • a suture needle 66 is slidable within the needle lumen 58.
  • the device 48 is introduced into the stomach under endoscopic visualization.
  • the device 48 is placed into contact with the target stomach tissue, and tissue is drawn into the recess 54. This may be accomplished by pressing the recess 54 against the tissue surface, or by activating a vacuum source configured to draw tissue into the recess 54.
  • the tissue is comprised of several tissue layers: the mucosa MUC which lines the stomach interior, the submucosa SM beneath the mucosa MUC, the muscularis M, and the serosa S which lines the stomach exterior.
  • the dimensions of the recess 54 and the position of the blade 68 are chosen such that tissue will be drawn into recess 54 by an amount that will appropriately align the tissue layer(s) to be removed with the blade 68.

  • the liner 90 is sufficiently rigid to restrict movement of the pouch 2 up or down within the stomach.
  • a ring 94 is positioned on the exterior surface of the body wall surrounding the waist portion 92 of the hourglass liner 90, such that it causes the body wall tissue to conform to the hourglass shape of the liner 90, altering the shape of the stomach by creating a stricture as shown. If necessary, the ring 94 may be secured in place using partial or full thickness sutures, barbs, clips etc.
  • the ring 94 may have features similar to the collar 56 described in connection with Fig. 31G below.

  • the liner 90 protects the mucosal lining of the stomach against erosion, and both the liner 90 and the ring 94 are themselves sufficiently flexible to prevent minimize tissue erosion caused by their own surfaces.
  • An optional feature in the Fig. 17 configuration includes a fundal component 98 extending in a distal direction from the liner 90.
  • the ring 94a may be more disk-like and include windows 110 for receiving the plication tissue as well as an integral or detachable restrictive orifice 114.

  • the ring 94 may also function as an anchor to which the implant may be attached using sutures, clips etc.
  • pledgets 130b may be formed of mesh or other material known to promote cell ingrowth, such that over time the stomach wall tissue will grow into the pledget to enhance anchoring.
  • a pledget may be formed in situ by injecting a drop of gel onto the exterior surface of the stomach, where the gel is a type that will solidify on the tissue surface.
  • the gel may be delivered laparoscopically by approaching the stomach wall from outside the stomach, or it may be delivered endoscopically by injecting the gel using a needle passed through the wall of stomach from the stomach interior. Once the gel hardens into a pledget, the implant may be anchored to the hardened gel pledget using sutures, clips, etc. passed through the stomach wall.
  • Figs. 29B through 3 IF various devices may be used to connect the fastener 96 to the pledget 130. It should be noted that although the implant is only shown in Fig. 29B, it should be assumed that in Figs. 29C through 29F implant is attached to the fastener such as in the manner shown in Fig. 29B. Referring to Fig.
  • Collars Another form of external reinforcement device is an external collar encircling the exterior of the stomach.
  • Figs. 31A through 311 show a variety of collar configurations. Some of these configurations are intended to be physically connected to the implant using sutures or other connection methods, including those shown in Figs. 29B - 29F for connecting the implant to the pledget-type devices. These connections may be made with or without the stud fasteners of Fig. 29A.
  • the collars When connected to the implant, the collars may function like the pledgets 130 to facilitate even distribution of forces around the implant.
  • the collars and pledgets may also be combined such that a collar encircles the exterior stomach wall and pledgets on the exterior surface of the collar are connected to the device using sutures passed through the collar and the stomach wall.
  • collar 178 may include a sleeve 192 that is slidable over the collar as indicated by arrows to retain the ends of the collar 178 together once the collar has been positioned around the stomach.
  • Figs. 20C, 22A, 22B, 23 and 24 Other restrictive devices and methods of retaining them are shown in Figs. 20C, 22A, 22B, 23 and 24.
  • Figs. 33A through 33D show restrictive devices having alternative features which may likewise minimize risk for detachment. These devices may be used with or without the various attachment devices described in this application.
  • Fig. 33 A shows a rigid ring 194 positionable in the gastro-esophageal junction region and attached using sutures or other means similar to those described for pouch 2.
  • FIG. 33B shows an alternative restrictive device 198 which has a tapered configuration, such that forces imparted against the device by the stomach (as indicated by arrows) as well as forces imparted by food passing through the tapered passageway 200 in the device 198 will cause the device to seat more tightly within the gastro- esophageal junction region.
  • sutures, anchors, clips, adhesives etc. may be used to attach the device 198 to the stomach walls.
  • Fig. 33C shows a restrictive device 202 that is pleated between anchor points 204.
  • a reinforcing patch 300 may be positioned between the tissue layers (e.g. serosal layers as shown, or alternatively mucosal layers).
  • the patch may function as a scaffolding that promotes tissue ingrowth and/or function to reinforce the adhesions that form.
  • the patch may be a synthetic or non-synthetic mesh, porous material, slotted material, or any other material through which adhesions will form or onto which tissue will grow.
  • Figs. 39A through 42B illustrate an embodiment similar to the Fig. 36F embodiment in which serosal plications 242 are formed to create a circumferential ridge 244 and in which a restrictive implant 246 is attached to the ridge 244 or seats against the ridge without a physical connection.
  • the Fig. 39A/B embodiment differs, however, in that patch 300 is positioned between the serosal layers. Anchoring studs or pledgets 250 may be passed through the serosal tissue layers and the patch 300 as shown to secure the plication and (if desired) to serve as an attachment point for an implant such as a restrictive device.
  • Fig. 40 illustrates an embodiment similar to Fig.
  • a pair of serosal plications are formed, each with a patch 300 between the serosal layers.
  • the folds 20 of the two plications are connected to one another as shown in Fig. 42B to form a pocket 304 between the plications.
  • the ends of the folds 20 may be cut prior to attachment as described with respect to Figs. 8C and 8D, or they may be left uncut. Additionally, another patch may be positioned between the folds to reinforce the adhesions that will ultimately grow between them.
