A circular knife within the head of the EEA stapler trims tissue to produce a round lumen as the stapler is fired. The result is a circular anastomosis and two distinct tissue rings, intact circles of tissue from the anastomosed region referred to as donuts. These are sent as two separate specimens to be examined for intactness. |
