Laparoscopic Hysterectomy and Bilateral Salpingo-oophorectomy Using Multifile GIA Surgical Stapler

Abstract

A laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed on a 42-year-old patient with pelvic pain and long-standing endometriosis. A prototype titanium Multifire GIA Stapler, which was designed for use in operative laparoscopy, was used for the first time on this patient, with excellent results. (J GYNECOL SURG 6:287, 1990)
