Abstract
The intestinal stapler includes a L-shaped base and a detachable L-shaped staple actuator arm. An attachment mechanism, for pivotally, detachably mounting the staple actuator arm to the base is provided such that the staple actuator arm pivots with respect to the base from an open position for receiving a bowel section, and a closed position, for securing the bowel section. A staple firing mechanism is provided for stapling the secured bowel section, and a blade is provided for severing the bowel section after stapling. The L-shaped base and actuator arm are detachable thus providing for precise positioning of the stapler within the abdominal cavity of a patient for safe and efficient bowel resections.
