Abstract
One of the authors has developed a special device-the suturoscope-whic h allows endoscopic sutures with conventional suture material. After s everal modifications, in order to improve the prototype, the authors b egan its clinical application in 1992. Five bladder operations were pe rformed-two antireflux operations, two meatotomies with meatoplasty, a nd an intramural ureteric ligation. The results indicate that this dev ice is suitable for clinical use.
