LAPAROSCOPIC ANASTOMOSIS TOOLS AND TECHNIQUE

摘要

An anastomosis normally closed clip comprising a first side including at least one first suture guide, the first suture guide being disposed on a top of the clip, the first end portion and the first suture guide defining a first suture space open toward the top of the clip, the first side further including a first carrier slot on the bottom of the clip; and a second side which is the mirror image of the first side. An introducer device is used to open the clip and introduce it into a patient over two organ segments to be sutured together and allow the clip to close. The suture spaces allow for continuous suturing of the organ segments. The introducer device is used to remove the clip from the patient after the suture procedure.
