[0035] When two staplers are connected relative to each other, Figure 4 As shown, at this time, the diamond-shaped structure at the tip of each coordination needle 5 is just embedded in the conical limiting structure in the corresponding coordination hole 6, so that the two anastomosis devices are buckled and fixed, and the two anastomosis rings 3 are aligned; wherein the through hole 31 in the donor-side anastomosis device 1 is arranged at an angle of 45° with the central symmetry axis of the donor-side anastomosis device 1 inside the donor-side anastomosis device 1, so that after the blood vessel anastomosis, the donor blood vessel and the recipient blood vessel are connected at an angle of 45°, which is in line with hemodynamics to avoid the occurrence of vortices, resulting in increased wall shear stress, the occurrence of intimal hyperplasia, and complications such as vascular stenosis and aneurysmal dilatation.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment is an anastomotic forceps used to cooperate with the anastomosis device in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 to perform vascular anastomosis operations, including a pair of anastomotic forceps rods 7 connected by rotation; one end of the anastomotic rod 7 is set as a handle 74, and the other end is set as an interlocking device 71 that cooperates with the anastomosis device.
[0038] The fitting device 71 is a telescopically expandable structure, which includes a fixed end fixedly connected to the anastomotic forceps rod 7, and a fitting device sliding end 72 telescopically linked to the fixed end; Figure 8As shown, a telescopic groove is provided on one side surface of the fixed end of the engaging device 71, and a telescopic strip 77 cooperating therewith is provided on the sliding end 72 of the engaging device.

[0044] After completing the setting of the blood vessel and the anastomosis device, the anastomosis device is installed in the interlocking device 71 of the anastomosis forceps; according to the size of the anastomosis device used, the adjustment knob 9 is turned to adjust the spacing between the two anastomosis forceps rods 7 to a suitable distance, and then the sliding end 72 of the interlocking device is pulled apart through the pull ring 75, and the anastomosis devices are respectively set in the interlocking grooves in the interlocking device 71, so that the interlocking grooves 4 are matched with the interlocking protrusions 76; loosen the pull ring 75, and the anastomosis device can be fixed in the interlocking groove under the action of the spring.
[0045] After that, it is only necessary to operate the handle 74 to buckle the two interlocking devices 71 of the anastomotic forceps. At this time, the coordination needle 5 on the donor-side fixer 1 is inserted into the corresponding coordination hole 2 on the recipient-side stapler 2, and the coordination needle 5 on the recipient-side stapler 2 is inserted into the coordination hole on the donor-side stapler 1, so as to realize the coordination connection of the two staplers; at this time, the broken end of the donor blood vessel and the side wall of the recipient blood vessel are anastomosed and connected, and the vascular end-to-side anastomosis is completed; thereafter, the pull ring 75 is pulled to remove the stapler from the interlocking device 71, and the anastomotic forceps and other surgical instruments can be withdrawn, and the wound is sutured to complete the operation.
[0046] Example 4
[0047] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that this embodiment is a specific method for using the stapler and anastomotic forceps in the above embodiment to perform end-to-end anastomosis of blood vessels.
