“…[ 27 ] Our F3DB with an in situ bioprinting method can also revolutionize the closure of mucosal defects after performing ESD compared to a variety of clips, fastening elements, [ 2a ] or the endoscopic suturing device. [ 28 ] Compared to the existing endoscopic surgical tools, the developed F3DB was designed as an all‐in‐one endoscopic tool that avoids the use of changeable tools which are normally associated with longer procedural time and infection risks.…”

Three‐dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology offers great potential in the treatment of tissue and organ damage. Conventional approaches generally rely on a large form factor desktop bioprinter to create in vitro 3D living constructs before introducing them into the patient's body, which poses several drawbacks such as surface mismatches, structure damage, and high contamination along with tissue injury due to transport and large open‐field surgery. In situ bioprinting inside a living body is a potentially transformational solution as the body serves as an excellent bioreactor. This work introduces a multifunctional and flexible in situ 3D bioprinter (F3DB), which features a high degree of freedom soft printing head integrated into a flexible robotic arm to deliver multilayered biomaterials to internal organs/tissues. The device has a master‐slave architecture and is operated by a kinematic inversion model and learning‐based controllers. The 3D printing capabilities with different patterns, surfaces, and on a colon phantom are also tested with different composite hydrogels and biomaterials. The F3DB capability to perform endoscopic surgery is further demonstrated with fresh porcine tissue. The new system is expected to bridge a gap in the field of in situ bioprinting and support the future development of advanced endoscopic surgical robots.

“…Moreover, endoscopic suturing usually leads to rather small scar tissue. Thus, the risk of postinterventional stricture is low [12]. Furthermore, the costs are way beyond surgical procedures.…”

Anastomotic leakage is a frequent complication after gastrointestinal (GI) surgery and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Endoluminal therapy offers numerous advantages compared to surgical revision. We present the case of a 74-year-old female patient with anastomotic leakage after esophagogastrostomy. The defect was closed using the OverStitch endoscopic suturing system with immediate technical and clinical success. Hereby, an example of the feasibility of this novel technique in a case of anastomotic leakage is presented and provides an outlook for the rising importance of endoscopic therapy.
