ABSTRACT:
An surgical stapling instrument is provided which uses a thermogenic energy preferably bipolar radiofrequency energy for cauterization and/or welding tissue. The instrument compresses tissue between one pole of a bipolar energy sources contained on a first interfacing surface and a second pole of a bipolar energy source contained on a second interfacing surface. Staples and thermogenic energy are applied to the compressed tissue. In a preferred embodiment a cutting element for cutting tissue is incorporated into the instrument.
