Abstract
For actuating a variety of interchangeable surgical instruments, more particularly for hollow organ anastomosis, an apparatus comprises at the proximal end of a shank part a handle part (2) secured releasably and correctly positioned thereto. A pivotable toggle mechanism is fitted to the handle part, the pivotable toggle mechanism cooperating releasably with the proximal end of a flexible, force-transmitting reciprocating part guidingly accommodated in the shank part. The proximal end of the reciprocating part is connected to an adjusting mechanism in the handle part. At the distal end of the reciprocating part a connector for connecting a surgical instrument is provided. At the distal end of the shank part a connector is provided for connecting a housing of the surgical instrument. Fitted to the distal end of the flexible reciprocating part is a pusher transmitting an axial compression force to the body of the surgical instrument.
