    A novel bullet-shaped tip enhances circular staplers for traversing viscus walls. This surgical innovation aids procedures like gastric stapling for obesity and intestinal reconstructions.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Engineering
    • Medical Device Design
    • Gastrointestinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Circular stapling devices are crucial in gastrointestinal surgery.
    • Transversing viscus walls can be challenging with standard stapler designs.
    • Existing techniques may require modifications for specific anatomical challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a modified circular stapler tip for improved viscus wall traversal.
    • To present a novel bullet-shaped tip design for enhanced surgical applicability.
    • To demonstrate the utility of this modification in various gastrointestinal procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Design and fabrication of a stainless steel bullet-shaped tip.
    • Attachment of the tip to a standard circular stapling device shaft.

  • Application of the modified stapler in clinical settings for specific surgical procedures.

    • Main Results:

    • The bullet-shaped tip facilitates passage through viscus walls.
    • Successful application in vertical gastric stapling for morbid obesity.
    • Effective use in low intestinal anastomoses with side-to-end technique.
    • Facilitated re-establishment of intestinal continuity post-Hartmann procedure.

    Conclusions:

    • The bullet-shaped tip is a valuable modification for circular staplers.
    • This design enhances safety and efficacy in procedures involving viscus wall penetration.
    • The modification offers versatile applications in bariatric and reconstructive gastrointestinal surgery.
