Subject: a stapler used in a laparoscopic gastric bypass
I'm doing an op note dictated by an ESL and he's referring to a stapler that he's using to create the anastomosis in a laparoscopic gastric bypass. It sounds something like Acolumn, Ecolint or Acumint stapler. I'm so stumped and would welcome any hints on how to figure out what the heck he's saying!

There is also the LAP-BAND (adjustable gastric band) which is the other gastric bypass surgery but the one with the least risks versus the Roux-en-Y.

I cannot confirm this "type" of trocar. It does not s/l "Veirs"-type trocar to me.
An incision was made above and to the left of the umbilicus, through which a #5/12 Visiport US Surgical trocar was inserted under direct vision into the peritoneal cavity. This was followed by placing another #5/12 trocar in the left upper quadrant. Another #5/12 trocar was placed in the epigastric region to the right of the midline. Another #5/12 trocar _____**s/l "varices"-type trocar was placed between the supraumbilical and the left upper quadrant trocar site. The abdomen was insufflated, and all the trocar sites were placed under direct vision.

The doc is dictating a bowel resection, is using a GIA and then a TA stapler. Would he be saying a GIA 80, 3.5 stapler, or a GIA 83.5 stapler? I have been typing is as GIA 80, 3.5 stapler right up until today, when it struck me that I may be wrong. Help, Anyone? Thanks!

I apologize for stepping on your toes. I only posted those reports to get a little help. I did not post any names of people, places, or anything confidential.
However, I do appreciate your concern. It sounds to me that probably you are trying to start some type of drama as you are accustomed to doing all over these boards. However, I am not going to enable that.
Have a nice day.

Laparoscopic banding
Subject: Laparoscopic banding
Does anyone do a lot of these procedures and have some good reference sites bookmarked that they'd care to share? I'm stumped by the same ESL that got me yesterday with the Echelon stapler. I can't tell if he's saying 10 band or thin band here. I don't even know if there is such a thing as a 10 band!!!
At this point, the 12-mm trocar in the left upper quadrant was dilated, and a s/l 10 or thin band was introduced into the abdomen. The s/l 10 or thin band was passed through the pars flaccida approach
