These devices make it possible to impose a thin, durable and low-traumatic suture, in some cases without opening the lumen of the stomach, to shorten the operation time and to achieve healing of the wound of a hollow organ by primary intention [4]. The reactivity of tissues to tantalum is less pronounced, and the terms of formation and epithelialization of scars are shorter than when using soft suture material [2]. Blood loss with mechanical suture during gastric resection is halved compared to manual suture [1].</p>Kazan Medical archiveКазанский медицинский архив
