Tissue marking device and methods of use thereof

A tissue marking device comprising:

• a handle assembly operable for positioning a hook assembly in a targeted tissue comprising:
• a handle body having a proximal end and a distal end;
• a plunger disposed in the handle body;
• a needle having a lumen with an open proximal end and distal end;
• and
• a stylet having a lumen with an open proximal end and distal end, the stylet movably disposed within the needle lumen and movably connected to the plunger such that pressing the plunger extends the hook body into the target tissue;
• and
• a thread having a proximal end and a distal end movably disposed within the lumen of the stylet,
• wherein the hook assembly operably connected to the distal end of the thread, and
• wherein the plunger is configured to partially deploy the hook assembly from the distal end of the needle such that upon retraction of the plunger, the hook assembly is retracted into the needle.
