In addition, clips can be used to close gastrointestinal perforations that may have been caused by complicated therapeutic endoscopy procedures, such as polypectomy, or by the endoscopic procedure itself. [18] Clips have also been used to secure the placement of endoscopic feeding tubes, [19] and to orient the bile duct to assist with ...
