Disclosed is a method and device for suturing tissue and implanting prosthetic grafts, the device includes 1) at least one flexible cannula having a means to remotely manipulate the configuration of its distal end, and 2) a suction capsule component that may be incorporated or fit within or about the flexible cannula. The flexible cannula and suction capsule component are of a size that allows them to be inserted, independently or as a unit, into a natural body orifice or small surgical incision. The suction component may be used to draw tissue into an opening in the suction capsule component, enabling the at least one needle to be advanced through the at least one flexible cannula thereby passing through the tissue held by the at least one opening in the suction capsule component and thereby delivering the attached suture to the tissue.
