The "instruments used during surgery" shown in the photo.
What purpose will it be used for?
A: A "manual stapler" used to sew together severed organs with a needle and thread.
B: An "automatic suturing machine" that joins tissues together with staples (staple nails) and simultaneously separates them.
C: A surgical scalpel used to further cut and shape the incised tissue.
D: An "inflator device" that uses carbon dioxide to create a working space under laparoscopy.
Answer: B
This device is called an "automatic stapler," and for example, when resecting and rejoining the intestinal tract, instead of meticulously suturing with a needle and thread, it can simultaneously cut the tissue while driving in multiple rows of staples (tiny staples). This is expected to shorten surgical time and stabilize the sutured area. From the perspective of medical safety and instrument selection, this automatic stapler has the advantage of being able to process more quickly than the conventional "needle and thread" method. Shorter surgical times are a welcome benefit for everyone, aren't they?
