An equipment that is frequently employed during surgical procedures and is also undergoing a nearly continual state of development evolution is the Surgical Staplers. Although these tools are very adaptable and effective, there have been well-reported instances of staple line leaks that resulted in postoperative difficulties, many of which were caused by problems unrelated to ischemia. The risk of bleeding, transfusions, and unintended proximal diversions, particularly in gastrointestinal procedures, can be significantly increased by technical errors, which can also play a role in other complications.
There is a knowledge gap about the tissue handling capabilities and restrictions of new or re-engineered staplers, which can have an impact on the clinical result of surgeries. A framework is required within which the existing literature can be reviewed and the available data can be gathered and made accessible in order to enhance surgeons' comprehension of staplers and stapler-tissue interactions in order to improve the clinical outcome and close this knowledge gap.
When necessary, surgical staple removers can also be used to remove the staples.
Linear cutting staplers - In abdominal, thoracic, paediatric, and gynaecological surgery, linear cutting staplers are utilised for tissue resection and transection as well as resection of organs. They have a knife incorporated into the stapler body to enable cutting as well as joining tissues and organs, and they are designed for efficient anastomosis.
Circular staplers - General surgery, thoracic surgery, bariatric surgery, and colo-rectal surgery all use circular staplers. In order to permit end-to-end, side-to-side, and side-to-side anastomoses, they are made to instal staples in a circular pattern made up of two concentric rings, as their name suggests.
