Abstract: A method of withdrawing an endoscope (102) from anatomy comprises inserting the endoscope into the anatomy to deliver a distal end of the endoscope to a location, positioning (410) a guide sheath around a proximal end of the endoscope, sliding (418) the guide sheath along the endoscope to reach the distal end and withdrawing (412) the endoscope from the guide sheath and anatomy. A system for intraoperatively attaching a suturing device (108) to an in-situ endoscope (102) comprises an insertion sheath (104) comprising an elongate tunnel body (110) extending between proximal and distal ends and a slit extending axially along the elongate tunnel body, and a suturing device couplable in a releasable manner to an endoscope. A reinsertion sheath for an endoscope comprises an elongate body comprising proximal and distal ends and a skin extending axially between the proximal and distal ends, and a slit (126) extending along the shaft to allow circumferential expansion of the elongate body.
