Circular (EEA) stapler
Circular stapling device with a detachable anvil, inserted transorally or through the resected esophageal/gastric stump, creating a circular stapled esophagogastric anastomosis; distinct from the already-catalogued motorized thoracic stapler, which staples lung parenchyma/vessels/bronchus, not the esophagus.
How it is used
Esophagogastric anastomosis during esophagectomy (e.g. Ivor Lewis procedure).
