ABSTRACT:
A surgical device and method is described for facilitating the anastomosis of two hollow organs. The surgical device has two arms for holding one of the hollow organs, each arm having a distal end, a proximal end, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween. Each arm also includes a holding surface. The surgical device also has a means for moving the two arms near to each other and away from each other, and a means for holding the two arms near to each other. The surgical device further includes a prong having a proximal end attached to the surgical device, and a distal end of the prong for entering a hole of a hollow organ. The prong is interposed between the two arms such that when the two arms are moved near to each other, the prong and hollow organ are held between the holding surfaces of the arms, with the longitudinal axis of the prong parallel to the longitudinal axes of the two arms.
