A device for creating a plication within a hollow organ. The device has an
elongated member with distal and proximal ends. The distal end is for
insertion into a body cavity. The elongated member has an end effector at
its distal end. The end effector includes an outer cylinder having at
least one opening in its cylindrical wall. The end effector also has an
inner cylinder having at least one opening in its cylindrical. The inner
cylinder is at least partially disposed within the outer cylinder such
that the apertures can at least partially overlap. In addition, the
cylinders are rotatable with respect to each other. In addition, the
device includes a tubular channel running through the elongated member
which is in fluid communication with the end effector. The channel has a
vacuum source attached at its proximal end.
