Endoscopic Stapler

An endoscopic stapler is a minimally invasive surgical instrument that simultaneously places rows of staples and divides or seals tissue through a small access port. Its jaws grasp the target tissue, then a firing mechanism drives staples into a predetermined pattern while a cutting blade separates the stapled section, creating a secure closure with limited external incision. Endoscopic staplers are used in gastrointestinal, thoracic, and other surgical procedures to resect tissue, join tissue segments, or close vessels and hollow organs. Their design supports consistent staple formation, reduced tissue handling, and shorter access routes, making them important tools in modern operative biology and translational research.

Source: Wang, L., et.al. Full-Endoscopic Isolation Zone Technique for the Treatment of Lumbar Disc Herniation. J. Vis. Exp.(2023)This video demonstrates a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure to treat lumbar disc herniation by removing the protruded nucleus pulposus and ruptured annulus fibrosus. The technique decompresses the affected nerve root, alleviates pain, and restores nerve function through targeted tissue resection and radiofrequency modulation.
