A detachable anvil assembly for use with an apparatus for performing circular anastomosis of tubular organs includes an elongated anvil rod having proximal and distal end portions and an anvil head mounted to the distal end portion of the anvil rod. The distal end portion is pivotally mounted and is adapted to pivot approximately plus or minus ninety degrees relative to a longitudinal axis defined by the rod. An elongated delivery member detachably receives the anvil assembly and facilitates delivery of the anvil assembly to the operative site. The pivoting feature of the distal end reduces the transverse profile of the assembly which consequently facilitates introduction and advancement of the anvil assembly within the tubular organ.

L'invention porte sur une enclume amovible, qui s'utilise avec un appareil pour exécuter une anastomose circulaire des organes tubulaires, comportant une tige d'enclume allongée ayant une extrémité proximale et une extrémité distale sur laquelle est montée une tête d'enclume. L'extrémité distale est fixée de façon rotative et peut pivoter à plus ou moins quatre-vingt-dix degrés environ par rapport à un axe longitudinal défini par la tige. L'enclume s'insère de façon non permanente dans un élément de livraison allongé, ce qui simplifie la livraison de l'enclume dans le champ opératoire. La caractéristique pivotante de l'extrémité distale permet de réduire le profil transversal de l'enclume, ce qui, par conséquent, facilite l'introduction et l'avancement de l'enclume à l'intérieur de l'organe tubulaire.
