An endoscopic tissue inversion and resection system employs an exemplary endoscopic tissue inversion and resection device configured to invert tissue to plicate the tissue between a pair of clamping tubes that advance a clamp component and guide clamp components around the plicated tissue. A clamp component may include magnets and/or a shape memory material. The magnets may produce a pinching force of the tissue. A shape-memory clamp component may have a preform shape that when configured around the plicated tissue clamps and retains the plicated tissue. An endoscope is configured between the first clamping tube and a second clamping tube and a tissue grasping device plicates the tissue. The endoscope may have an imaging device, to enable viewing of the interior of the body during a procedure to guide the endoscope to a desired location.
