Apparatus and methods for suturing and ligating anatomical tissue utilizes one or more knotting elements (20) connected between two or more length portions of filamentous suture material (18a-18b) to form one or more contractible loops for confining segments of the length portions therein. The knotting elements receive the suture material to effect a knot for one or more adjustably tensioned stitches created when the segments are passed through the loop and the suture material is received by the knotting elements.
