TRANSTAR® Circular Stapler

TRANSTAR  Circular Stapler

Less pain for patients and faster return to normal activity – This is our solution to Obstructed Defecation Syndrome (ODS).

Stapled Transanal Rectal Resection (STARR) is a surgical solution for the repair and strengthening of the prolapsed rectal wall. By removing excess tissue in the rectum, the procedure can reduce the deformities that contribute to ODS. STARR leaves the rectum free of obstruction, allowing for normal bowel movement. The procedure offers patients a quick return to normal activity, with minimal pain during and after surgery.6

The TRANSTAR® Circular Stapler may be used to approximate tissue in procedures that treat various anorectal-wall abnormalities, including those associated with ODS.
