Surgeon needs
- Needs an air tight staple line to prevent leaks.
- Needs a high performing stapler with good staple line formation and integrity
- Needs a stapler that can handle variable and thick tissue.
- Needs a robust stapler with good outcomes as crossing staple lines is more common.
- Uses a buttress to reduce bleeding and leaks.
- Needs a buttress that won’t bunch or move as the staple line angles and the need to cross staple lines can increase the risk of this happening in a wedge procedure.
