Abstract
A system for monitoring anastomosis healing includes an imaging device for observing a first distance at a first location between first and second staple lines at a first instant in time, and a second distance at the first location at a second instant in time, and a programmable device configured to calculate a difference between the first and second distances and to compare the difference with known distances of anastomoses exhibiting known conditions.
