several laparoscopic staplers are used in one surgery

Laparoscopic surgery can be said to be one of the most common surgeries performed by doctors in hospitals for patients, and there are also many instruments used, among which laparoscopic staplers are one of them. So how many laparoscopic staplers are usually used in a surgery?

The disposable endoscope cutting stapler and endoscope components consist of a sleeve, swing button, rotating nut, safety button, reset button, firing handle, and handle housing. The endoscope component (individually packaged) consists of a nail holder, a nail compartment, and a cutting knife. It uses titanium nails to separate or anastomose tissues, making the operation simple and fast, greatly reducing surgical time.

When performing suturing or cutting, multiple surgical stapler devices may be used, depending on the size of the resection area. If the resection area is small, one is sufficient. For example, removing smaller lung nodules or tumors may only require the use of two nail barrels to complete the cutting closure. However, when it is necessary to remove larger lung tissue, more nail chambers may be needed to close the cutting section and handle related blood vessels and bronchi, such as 3-8 or even 8 or more.

At present, most lung nodule surgeries are performed using minimally invasive thoracoscopy for surgical resection, usually using mechanical suturing methods and automatic cutting staplers for suturing. The principle of the automatic cutting stapler is to use a whole row of staples, similar to staples used in staplers, but with a larger quantity, it can be a whole row, even 2-3 rows, or even up to 6 rows, and can be nailed together around the nodule at once to achieve complete suturing. In the past, the removal of pulmonary nodules was done using a one needle, one line suture method. Compared with the two methods, the automatic cutting stapler method is more reliable, has a lower air leakage rate, and saves more normal lung tissue. Therefore, the number of staplers depends on the specific situation.
