MODEL RELEASED. Oesophageal cancer surgery. Image 20 of 28. Surgeon using a stapling device during surgery on a patient with cancer of the oesophagus (gullet). The lower oesophagus had turned cancerous and has been removed using open-chest surgery (thoracotomy). The upper oesophagus was then stapled to the stomach (oesophago-gastric anastomosis). Here,the stomach incision (lesser curve gastrotomy) is being closed up using a TA90 linear stapling device (left). At right are the five Babcock devices that were used to hold the incision closed until the stapler could be used | |
