Endostaplers
摘要
Surgical staplers are essential surgical tools nowadays, and stapling has become a standard practice. Staplers are used for tissue approximation, tissue sealing, and division. They are convenient, easy to use, time-saving, and provide a consistent tissue approximation if properly used. All surgeons must be aware of the structure and appropriate use of surgical staplers. There are various types of surgical staplers, including staplers for open surgery and staplers for laparoscopic surgery. The staplers apply staples of different open and closed heights. The choice of the stapler depends on the tissue thickness. The outcome of stapling depends on several factors, including tissue properties, thickness, vascularity, the correct stapler height for the tissue thickness, and proper surgical technique.
