Endoscopic Stapling of the DVC

Groups remarks

Staple control of the DVC was performed using a 45 mm purple load of the Endo-GIA Tri-Stapler (Covidien, North Haven, CT, USA). The instrument is articulated downwards initially to enter below the pubic symphysis. The stapler is then released to neutral position to incorporate the DVC before closure and firing.
