The anvil introducer mechanism facilitates the laparoscopic introduction of an anvil, whether for use with a circular stapler (e.g., Ethicon(TM) stapler) or for use with an Autosuture EEA device, into the abdominal cavity and into the lumen of the stomach or intestine and the placement of such an anvil where desired by the operator. An advantage is that the anvil introduction mechanism greatly eases the passing of an anvil through an abdominal wall and into a particular location in the stomach or intestine. Furthermore, such an introduction mechanism is amenable to use in a laparoscopic procedure and can be readily introduced to a body through a trocar.
