    摘要: A method for powered surgical stapling instrument rotation adjustment includes measuring a change in position of a first motor shaft of the surgical stapling instrument relative to a stored rotation verification position of the first motor shaft resulting from manual rotation of an adapter assembly of the surgical stapling instrument in relation to a handle assembly of the surgical stapling instrument, determining a distance traveled by a first drive assembly of the adapter assembly of the surgical stapling instrument resulting from the change in position of the first motor shaft, comparing the determined distance traveled to a first stored rotation verification position of the first motor shaft, determining if the compared distance falls into a predetermined acceptable range of rotation positions, and adjusting the position of the drive shaft if the compared distance is not within the predetermined range

    摘要: A surgical stapling instrument includes an anvil assembly, a reload assembly, an adapter assembly, a processor, and a memory. When clamping to a target force, the instructions cause the surgical stapling instrument to advance the pusher towards the anvil assembly from a first position to a second position, determine if the pusher stopped advancing towards the anvil assembly prior to the second position, measure a force of staple compression of a staple being ejected from the annular staple cartridge by the pusher, in response to the pusher having stopped advancing towards the anvil assembly, and determine if the force of staple compression is outside of a predetermined range
