Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device and method for limiting trauma and for monitoring and tracking structural fatigue in clamping members and identifying proper staple filling in simple and reliable manners.SOLUTION: A surgical device comprises: a first clamping member; a second clamping member; an electric motor configured to drive at least one of the first and second clamping members toward a predetermined tissue gap between the clamping members; and a control system configured to monitor a parameter of the electric motor indicative of a clamping force exerted to the tissue by the clamping members and to control the electric motor, based on the monitored parameter, to thereby limit the clamping force to a predetermined maximum limit.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】外傷を制限し、シンプルな信頼可能な方法で、クランプ部材の構造疲労を監視し追跡し、適切なステープル充填を識別する装置および方法の提供。【解決手段】外科用装置であって、第１のクランプ部材と、第２のクランプ部材と、該第１のクランプ部材および該第２のクランプ部材のうちの少なくとも１つを、該クランプ部材の間の所定の組織ギャップに向けて駆動するように構成されている電気モータと、該クランプ部材によって該組織に及ぼされるクランプ力を示す該電気モータのパラメータを監視し、かつ、該監視されたパラメータに基づいて、該電気モータを制御することによって該クランプ力を所定の最大限界までに制限するように構成されている制御システムとを含む、外科用装置。【選択図】図３
