This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning examines surgical staplers. He explores the history of surgical staplers, the evolution of surgical staplers, and discusses the company that created the first automated minimally invasive surgical stapler—United States Surgical Corporation (USSC). He also discusses details about the AutoSuture Premium Poly stapler and why it is still being created. Joel also shares details about when he visited a production line that is responsible for creating surgical staplers. He discusses his experience and his highlights from this event, which includes meeting Dr. Rene Petersen and Dr. Laurens Ceulemans.
Joel also reviews recent JANS articles on heart transplantation and donation after circulatory death in children, priorities for medical device regulatory approval, transplantation of a genetically modified porcine heart into a live human, and mechanisms of repair failure after mitral valve repair using chordal replacement.
In addition, Joel explores treating intractable hiccups by clipping the phrenic nerve using VATS, robotic totally endoscopic CryoMaze ablation under ventricular fibrillatory arrest, and a new podcast episode from Dr. Alice Copperwheat, “The Atrium: Internal Mammary Artery Harvesting,” with expert guest Dr. David Taggart. Before closing, he highlights upcoming events in CT surgery.
