“…In the present article, we describe the use of an automated suture device used in laparoscopic surgery, the Endo Stitch (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA), for epiglottopexy. The Endo Stitch has previously been used to place temporary retraction sutures during endoscopic Zenker's diverticulostomy to provide proximal traction on the cricopharyngeal bar for improved visualization 7–8 . To our knowledge, this is the first described use of an automated suturing device for complete endolaryngeal surgery.…”
