Surgical device configured to strip and cut tendon

A method, comprising:

• advancing an insert and a shaft of a surgical device relative to a tendon such that a portion of the tendon enters the insert via a window of the insert, and such that a portion of the tendon exits the insert by extending through a cutout proximal of the window, wherein the insert is adjacent a distal end of the shaft, and wherein the insert provides a stripping tube;
• and
• advancing a cutter of the surgical device distally relative to the insert and the shaft by applying a force to a cap attached to the cutter, wherein advancing the cutter severs the tendon by pinching the tendon between a distal edge of the cutter and a proximal edge of the stripping tube.
