LAPAROSCOPIC ANASTOMOSIS DEVICES AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF

Abstract: an apparatus includes an elongate body and an end effector coupled to a distal end the elongate body. the end effector includes a first end effector element configured to hold a first coupler element, a second end effector element configured to hold a second coupler element of the, and first and second end effector elements coupling first and second end effector elements to the elongate body. the end effector is configured to move between a first configuration in which the first and second end effector elements are located in a first position in which axial end of first vessel is coupled to first coupler element, a second position in which axial end of second vessel is coupled to second coupler element, and a third configuration in which first and second end effectors close to coupler the coupler elements and anastomose the first and second vessel.
