Problems solved by technology

However, preventing leaks in tubular body organs can be difficult for a number of reasons
For example, it may be difficult to place tissue close to the staple line to withstand the repeated expansion and contraction that occurs as solids and fluids pass through the colon
Additionally, it can be difficult to deliver the sealant to tubular body organs and control the position of the sealant as it solidifies from a liquid to a set state

Abstract

This article describes devices and methods for forming an anastomosis between two body cavities. In one embodiment, an anastomosis may be formed by transecting a body lumen using a linear surgical stapler (10) delivering a plurality of sealing aids (4106, 4108) in conjunction with a plurality of surgical staples (4080) along a staple line, wherein the The plurality of sealing aids are coupled to each other by sutures (41026). A circular surgical stapler can be used to create an anastomosis across the staple line and the second body lumen. Prior to actuating the circular stapler, the proximal and distal ends of the staple line can be pulled to In the central lumen of the circular stapler, the staple line is resected when the circular stapler is actuated.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter disclosed herein relates to devices and methods for sealing staples deployed into tissue during a surgical procedure. Background technique [0002] Surgical staplers are used in surgery to seal, divide, and / or transect tissue in the body by closing openings in tissue, blood vessels, conduits, shunts, or other objects or body parts involved in a particular procedure. Openings may be naturally occurring, such as blood vessels, airways or lumens or passages in organs such as the stomach, or they may be opened by the surgeon during surgery, such as by piercing tissue or blood vessels to create bypasses or anastomoses, or by Formed by cutting tissue during suture surgery. [0003] Most staplers have a handle comprising an elongated flexible or rigid shaft with a pair of opposing jaws formed on the ends thereof for retaining and forming the staples therebetween. At least one of the opposing jaws is movable relative to the other jaw. In ...
