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