Abstract
A device for use in performing an end-to-end anastomosis comprises a stapling member insertable into a first end segment of a tubular organ, a plurality of staples arranged in a circular array in the stapling member, and an anvil member insertable into a second end segment of the tubular organ. The anvil member is movably connected to the stapling member to enable a clamping of the first and the second end segment to one another in juxtapositon to the circular array. A staple ejector is provided in the stapling member for ejecting the staples in a radial direction towards the anvil member, thereby stapling the first and the second end segment to one another along an annular locus.
