    Author: Robicsek F.
    Journal: Surg Gynecol Obstet; 1980 Apr; 150(4):579-83. PubMed ID: 6987755.
    Abstract:
    Contrary to the popular belief that the stapling machine is a relatively recent technical innovation, surgical staplers have been in general use since as early as the first decade of the century. The first surgical stapler was invented in 1908, and the two people who were responsible for this invention were Victor Fischer and Hümér Hültl.
