The emergence of the disposable circular stapler provides a more complete means for surgeons to complete difficult surgical operations

Advantages of disposable circular Staplers

In the past ten years, the equipment and technology in the medical field have been updated, and the appearance of the digestive tract stapler has provided more perfect means for surgeons to complete difficult operations and reform conventional surgical operations to improve the quality of surgery. It is true that the use of staplers can not completely replace manual operation, but in some special parts, it can play a very important role and achieve results that are difficult to achieve by manual technology. Moreover, with the continuous improvement and daunting of stapler technology, new products continue to appear, and their scope of application has been able to popularize all gastrointestinal operations. We believe that as long as it is used properly, the quality of anastomosis is safe and reliable. It has at least the following advantages: (1) It can significantly shorten the operation time and improve the quality of anastomosis. Taking Bi-type gastric incision as an example, after the separation and ligation of the omentum is completed, the average time from gastric incision, stump treatment to completion of digestive tract reconstruction is less than 30 minutes, and the joint is neat, clean, smooth and reliable. (2) The steps and difficulty of the operation are obviously reduced, and some operations that are difficult to be done by hand are made simple and easy, such as the modified sugiura operation. The operation is complicated, time-consuming, requires high technical requirements, and it is difficult to guarantee the quality of anastomosis, so the incidence of postoperative complications is high. There are still not many surgeons. With the stapler, esophagus transection and anastomosis can be completed at one time, the anastomosis is tight and smooth, and it takes only about 20 minutes. (3) The tissue reaction in the operation area is light, which is conducive to healing and rehabilitation. Especially in deep surgery (such as esophagus, low rectal anastomosis, etc.), the operation is obviously simplified because of the low requirement for exposure of the operative field. time shortened. The traction injury to nearby tissues and organs is significantly reduced, and the use of alloy staples can greatly reduce the tissue reaction of the anastomotic site, which is more conducive to the healing of the anastomosis and nearby tissues. We feel that the design principle and structure of the stapler are not complicated, and the technical operation has become mature and stereotyped. As long as there is a certain surgical foundation, all of them can be well mastered and used. However, the stapler cannot replace all traditional operations. Therefore, in the specific application process, it should be organically combined with the traditional manual operation to obtain better results.
