Key Words	Staplers; Liver resection; Laparoscopy
Core Tip	Stapling devices are crucial for safe and rapid anastomosis in gastrointestinal surgery. They have been gradually introduced in open hepatectomy and laparoscopic liver surgery for dividing vascular and biliary structures and parenchymal transection. Staplers make manipulation more simple, rapid and safe. Even in single incision laparoscopic surgery, staplers are also utilized, especially in single incision laparoscopic left lateral hepatectomy. More related designs and modifications are still needed for safe application of stapling devices in liver surgery, and more randomized studies are needed to demonstrate the benefits and find broader indications for the use of stapling devices.
