Abstract
A method of anatomical tissue ligation includes the steps of introducing a distal end of an anatomical tissue ligation instrument assembly at an internal operative site in a patient's body, grasping anatomical tissue at the internal operative site with a grasping member of the anatomical tissue ligation instrument assembly disposed at the distal end, positioning a contractible ligature loop formed of a length of filamentous ligature material of the anatomical tissue ligation instrument assembly around the anatomical tissue while the anatomical tissue remains grasped by the grasping member external of the distal end, contracting the ligature loop around the anatomical tissue to form a ligature and severing the length of ligature material proximally of the ligature to separate the ligature from the remainder of the length of ligature material.
