Design advances over the last three decades have resulted in a greater variety of surgical procedures utilizing surgical staplers. Mechanical Sutures in Operations on the Esophagus and Gastroesophageal Junction is a detailed guide to mechanical suturing in both open and laparoscopic procedures, presented by one of the leading authorities on the subject, Felicien M. Steichen, MD (The Pioneer of Modern Surgical Stapling).
