Endoscopic Suturing Registry

The Prospective Registry for Trans-Oral Endoscopic Suturing Applications will collect real-world data related to the safety and effectiveness of procedures done with Apollo Endosurgery’s OverStitch™ Endoscopic Suturing System. This registry is a program of the AGA Center for GI Innovation and Technology.

While endoscopic suturing procedures are becoming more routine in gastrointestinal and surgery practices across the country, we need real-world data to make informed decisions around the continued adoption of these procedures in clinical practice.

We're looking for physicians who perform procedures using Apollo Endosurgery’s OverStitch™ Endoscopic Suturing System to participate in this new registry.
