Operating proctoscopes designed for use in rectal anastomosis by stapling techniques.

Area of Science:

• Surgical instrumentation
• Gastrointestinal surgery
• Medical device design

Background:

• Rectal procedures sometimes require specialized techniques for stapling device insertion.
• Existing proctoscopes may present challenges in facilitating stapler head passage without the anvil.

Purpose of the Study:

• To introduce novel operating proctoscopes designed for specific rectal surgical procedures.
• To enhance the ease of passing a stapling head without its anvil during rectal operations.

Main Methods:

• Design and development of new operating proctoscope models.
• Testing the proctoscopes' functionality in facilitating stapler head passage without the anvil.

Main Results:

• The newly designed proctoscopes successfully facilitate the passage of a stapling head without its anvil.
• The proctoscopes streamline a critical step in specific rectal surgical procedures.

Conclusions:

• The developed operating proctoscopes offer an improved solution for rectal procedures requiring stapler head passage without the anvil.
• This innovation has the potential to enhance surgical efficiency and outcomes in relevant rectal surgeries.
