Contemporary stapling instruments and basic mechanical suture techniques.

Abstract

This article provides a description and demonstration of the basic linear staple closures and anastomoses, as well as of circular anastomoses. Depending on the technique used, bowel may be closed in a mucosa-to-mucosa or serosa-to-serosa fashion, and comparable results with either modality are demonstrated.

A new oral surgery teaching model.

An anatomical model for teaching the practical aspects of routine oral surgery in a clinical or laboratory environment, is described. Replaceable sections allow the model to be rapidly re-used so that successive students may practise procedures such as incisions, flap reflection, bone removal, tooth removal, apicectomy and suturing. Keeping the cost per procedure to a minimum was considered to be of fundamental importance and this has been achieved through the use of 'factory produced' replacement parts.
