Abstract:
1. An endoluminal system for removing a lesion from a colon of a patient comprising: an endoscopic device having a longitudinal axis and a chamber movable with respect to the longitudinal axis, the chamber movable from a first collapsed insertion position to an expanded position to apply a force to a wall of the colon having the lesion to move the wall radially to increase a working space adjacent the lesion; a first instrument insertable through the endoscopic device, the first instrument having a first tip, the first tip manipulable at a bent angle from the longitudinal axis of the endoscopic device to extend radially toward the lesion; and a second instrument insertable through the endoscopic device and having a second tip, the second tip manipulable at an a bent angle from the longitudinal axis of the endoscopic device to extend radially toward the lesion, the first and second tips achieving triangulation with respect to the lesion within the increased working space to facilitate maneuverability and access and removal of the lesion; wherein the chamber is formed by a plurality of flexible elements, the flexible elements positioned distal of an opening in the endoscopic device through which the first and second instruments extend.
