Problems solved by technology

However, operating only inside the gastric cavity limits the depth of the fold that can be achieved without cutting
Furthermore, in purely endoscopic procedures, access and visibility in the gastric cavity and peritoneal cavity are limited as the degree of reduction increases
Furthermore, the accessibility and visibility of the gastric cavity and intraperitoneal cavity are limited with increasing degree of reduction during purely endoscopic procedures

Abstract

A surgical stapling device for deploying staples connected with suture to tissue includes a handle having a staple actuator mechanism, a tubular support shaft having a longitudinal axis and extending from the handle, and a staple cartridge mounted on the support shaft and connected to the staple actuator mechanism for applying one or more staples to the tissue. The cartridge has a cartridge housing adapted to receive a plurality of staples in a row for longitudinal movement therethrough and an anvil mounted on the housing. The cartridge further includes a mechanism for advancing the forwardmost staple in the row into engagement with the anvil, and a suture guide supporting a length of suture that extends in a loop for attachment to the staples as they are secured to the tissue.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to fasteners and fastener applicators. More particularly, the present invention relates to fasteners and fastener applicators in which staples and sutures are used simultaneously in gastric reduction surgery, conventional tissue manipulation and apposition, or related procedures. Background technique [0002] Obesity is a disease that affects more than 30% of the U.S. population. Obesity affects an individual's quality of life and significantly increases morbidity and mortality. Obese patients (ie, individuals with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30) are often at high risk for health problems, including early death, such as diabetes, hypertension, and respiratory insufficiency. From this it is known, and those skilled in the art certainly understand, that obesity involves substantial monetary expenditure and physical exertion. In fact, obesity-related costs are estimated to exceed $100 billion in the United States ...
