Method and device for performing incisionless surgery

A device for accessing and removing a vermiform appendix without the need for surgical incisions, the device comprising:

• a double-layered endotube fitted with electroceramic baffling;
• an endoscope configured to extend through the endotube, the endoscope having a distal end with at least one irrigation-suction coupled channel and at least one tool orifice extending therethrough, wherein the endoscope is configured to extend out of and back into a distal end of the endotube;
• at least one instrument fitted within the endoscope and configured to interchangeably extend through the at least one tool orifice in the distal end of the endoscope, the at least one instrument being a member selected from the group consisting of an endoscopic sphincterotome, an endosnare device, a bow electroknife, a needle electroknife, and a light;
• an extension disk attached to a proximal end of the endotube;
• a controller operatively attached to the instruments through the extension disk, the controller configured to control and drive movement of the endotube, the endoscope, and the instruments;
• a casing attached to a distal end of the endotube;
• a pneumatic extensible cone housed within the casing, the pneumatic extensible cone configured to go from an undeployed position to a deployed position;
• and
• a cecoclosure device attached to the pneumatic extensible cone, the cecoclosure device comprising:
• a telescoping arm configured to extend outward from the casing;
• and
• a bead chain attached to a distal end of the telescoping arm to a rim of the pneumatic extensible cone.
