Why do doctors use staples instead of stitches


The main reason for using nails in surgical sutures is that they are convenient, quick, cause little damage, and have little tissue reaction. Various staplers, cutters, closure devices, and skin staplers are used in surgery to replace traditional manual sutures, which greatly shortens the operation time and is easy to operate. The metal nails used have the advantages of no rust, corrosion resistance, high toughness, little rejection reaction, and little tissue damage. The metal nails of the disposable skin stapler used for suturing the skin do not need to penetrate the entire layer of the skin, and the scar after healing is smaller than that of traditional sutures.


Traditional anastomosis usually involves gradual suturing with the naked eye, inevitably leading to the possibility of needle leakage. In severe cases, it may even cause intestinal fluid to flow into the abdominal cavity, resulting in no oral leakage, bleeding, and infection. Using nail anastomosis, due to its fixed spacing and depth, there is no possibility of needle leakage, which minimizes the possibility of anastomotic leakage during operation.


Endoscopic suturing offers several advantages, including smaller incisions, lower risk of infection, less pain, shorter recovery time, and shorter hospital stays. It is commonly used in procedures such as endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, endoscopic oral outlet constriction, and endoscopic pyloromyotomy. However, as with any surgical procedure, it also has risks and complications that should be discussed thoroughly with a healthcare provider.
