INTRAOPERATIVE MALFUNCTIONS OF STAPLER DEVICES. THE CURRENT STATE OF THE PROBLEM AND A SERIES OF CLINICAL CASES

Abstract
The paper presents several medical device reports from our center identified during application of surgical staplers from different manufacturers. The revealed malfunction did not lead to postoperative complications, however, they affected the duration of the operation and the cost of treatment. Failure of the stapler devices during surgery in the absence of proper attention to the staple line can lead to an increase in the frequency of postoperative complications. It remains unclear the problem of «small» malfunctions of stapler devices, which may go unnoticed during surgery, but affect the outcomes of treatment of patients. In order to identify a possible association between these adverse events and postoperative complications, it is necessary to form a state register of events associated with the use of stapler devices.
