To the history of surgical staplers

Abstract

The first mechanical staplers were created in Europe in the early XX century, but they were not widely accepted due to a number of constructive shortcomings. In the 20–30s. significantly improved apparatus demonstrated favorable results in abdominal surgery. In the late 40's – early 50-es various models of surgical staplers were cre-

ated in the USSR, and their analogs subsequently spread around the world. The article presents the previously poorly understood facts about the invention, develop- ment and use of such devices in the abdominal, vascu- lar, cardiothoracic and other branches of surgery in the twentieth century.

Keywords:surgery, stapling devices, history of the creation, role of Russian scientists, current trends
