The history of surgical staplers dates back to 1908, and since then, they have undergone significant improvements. The growing requirement for intricate renal surgeries and kidney transplants worldwide has led to the widespread use of these devices. The demand for advanced surgical instruments in urologic procedures has risen with the development of minimally invasive techniques. In laparoscopic nephrectomy or nephroureterectomy, stapling is the preferred method for achieving hemostasis as it can simultaneously divide and close an artery or vein, unlike surgical clips.
This whitepaper explores the benefits of LTTS’ next-generation surgical stapler, which offers enhanced operation convenience and flexibility, including for right-sided donor nephrectomies, early vascular bifurcation, and uncommon vascular variation. In addition, our staplers may be more economically advantageous, potentially reducing healthcare costs in developing countries. The paper focuses on how the stapler's remarkable features can benefit surgeons in terms of residual vessel length.
