What is it about?

The goal of this review is to present a framework for the study of device- tissue interactions and to initiate the process of "filling in" the knowledge gap via the available literature. Surgical staplers, which are continually being developed, are the focus of this piece. The integrity of the staple line, which depends on adequate tissue compression, is the primary factor in creating a stable anastomosis. This review focuses on published studies that evaluated the creation of stable anastomoses
