    摘要: A surgical stapler includes a first elongate member, a second elongate member, and a clamp member operable to releasably clamp the first elongate member against the second elongate member. A distal portion of the first elongate member supports an anvil surface having a plurality of staple forming pockets. A distal portion of the second elongate member is configured to receive a staple cartridge. A firing assembly of the surgical stapler is translatable from a first longitudinal position to a second longitudinal position to fire the staple cartridge when the first elongate member is clamped against the second elongate member. A retaining assembly of the surgical stapler includes a first retaining member configured to releasably couple a proximal end of the first elongate member with a proximal end of the second elongate member, and a second retaining member configured to releasably retain the firing assembly in the first longitudinal position.

    摘要: Various adaptive surgical visualization systems are disclosed. Surgical visualizations can compensate for obscured, incomplete, damaged, or interfered with portions of captured images by substituting those portions of the images with corresponding portions of other images. The other images could include images that were previously generated by the surgical visualization system or images that were generated using multispectral imaging techniques. The present disclosure concerns a surgical imaging system comprising: a multispectral electromagnetic radiation (EMR) source configured to emit EMR at a first wavelength range and a second wavelength range; an image sensor configured to sense the EMR at each of the first wavelength range and the second wavelength range reflected from a target site; and a control circuit coupled to the image sensor, the control circuit configured to: generate a first image of the target site according to the EMR emitted at the first wavelength range, generate a second image of the target site according to the light emitted at the second wavelength range, determine whether the first image is at least partially obstructed, and generate a fused image comprising a fusion between an unobstructed segment of the first image and a segment of the second image corresponding to an obstructed segment of the first image. Alternatively, the control circuit is configured to generate an image of the target site according to the emitted EMR, determine whether the image is at least partially obstructed, retrieve a previous image of the target site, and generate a fused image comprising a fusion between an unobstructed segment of the image and a segment of the previous image corresponding to an obstructed segment of the image.

    摘要: A staple cartridge configured for use with a surgical stapler includes a cartridge body, a deck defined configured to compress tissue against an anvil of the surgical stapler, and a plurality of staple openings formed in the deck. A plurality of staples is disposed within the staple openings, with each staple having a pair of legs. A plurality of staple drivers is also disposed within the staple openings, with the staple drivers being actuatable to drive the staples through tissue and against the anvil to form the legs. Each of the staple drivers includes a driver body, a first pocket disposed on a first lateral side of the driver body, and a second pocket disposed on a second lateral side of the driver body. The first and second pockets are configured to receive the legs of the respective staple when the legs are formed against the anvil.
