An improved surgical stapler (11) is disclosed which is particularly suitable for use in laparoscopic procedures. The stapler includes a handle (12) and an elongated shaft (13) and non-traumatic jaws (15) at its distal end which are adapted to close staples. This improved stapler (11) further inlcudes a cutter (16) which is adapted to cut items grasped by the jaws (15). The jaws (15) are actuated independently of the stapling mechanism. This substantially improves the versatility of this device. A suctioning tube (29) suitable for hydro dissection is also provided at the tip (14) of the apparatus (11). This device permits surgeons to dissect, hydro dissect, staple and subsequently selectively cut without removing the instrument. |
