PURPOSE: We report our institution's experience with endoscopic suturing and hypothesize that it has high technical and clinical success. METHODS: This is a retrospective review of patients who underwent a procedure with the endoscopic suturing system between April 2010 and March 2019. Definitions of technical and clinical success were established for each application. RESULTS: Overall technical and clinical success in 151 procedures was 97.4% and 74.2%, respectively. Endoscopic suturing was used 24 times to treat leaks or fistulas, with a clinical success rate of 55.6%. The clinical success of stent fixations (11) was 72.7%. Intentional mucosal and submucosal defects were closed 20 times with a clinical success of 83.3%. Iatrogenic perforations (9) were repaired with a clinical success of 87.5%. Marginal ulcers were oversewn (5), with an 80% clinical success rate. Diverticulopexy in the esophagus was clinically successful in two patients. Endoscopic suturing was used in endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty in 10 patients and endoscopic gastrojejunostomy revision in 70 patients; weight loss was observed in both groups at up to 2 and 5 years, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic suturing was used successfully in numerous situations spanning the gastrointestinal tract with high rates of technical and clinical success.
