Powered staplers incorporate a motor to power both staple firing and the cutting action of the blade. 1 Additionally, leaking or oozing of blood from arterial stumps may obscure the surgical area and causes stress to surgeons. Endoscopic staplers are crucial tools for thoracoscopic surgical procedures: however, stapling of pulmonary vasculatures during thoracic surgery can be associated with intraoperative adverse events, such as bleeding from transected tissue.
