Types of Surgical Staples Used Internally

Surgical staples were originally created to respond to the perceived problems of security against the leakage of blood or bowel content. Surgical staples are used to close skin wounds and to connect or remove internal blood vessels. The staples clamp blood vessels. However, certain small pieces of metal may be left in the body, but will not cause any serious problems.

The three main types of surgical staples are:

• Circular staples: The circular staples are also referred to as EEA devices. They are used to connect one vessel to the other side of the large vessel. They can be used to close wounds. Circular staples can be used to perform cervical esophagogastric anastomosis after the removal of cancer cells in the area, instead of the typical hand-sewn method. Using the circular staples can result in shorter surgery time.
• Laparoscopic staples: Compared to circular staples, laparoscopic staples are long and thin. The staples are injected into the patient's body tissue, during what is considered a minimally invasive surgery. Laparoscopic staples have also been successfully used during liver resection. They are used after the removal of a kidney due to cancer.
• Titanium staples: For years, stainless steel has been used for skin stapling and clips. However, titanium is more common for internal surgeries. Titanium is flexible, strong yet lightweight and is considered the metal of choice for most medical procedures. Titanium causes less reaction in the immune system and can easily bind to bone and living tissue. Patients who have an allergic reaction to nickel should discuss possible side effects with their surgeons.

In surgical procedures, these are the commonly used staplers.
