The tool that he used to cut the stomach automatically places staples on both sides of the cut edges. It really looks like both edges are the teeth of a zipper. Seriously, go get a zipper and look at the unzipped edges. That is exactly what the cut edge of your tummy will look like. The stapling instrument looks like a long handled pair of scissors. As he closes the scissor's handles to cut the stomach it also staples the edges. It is neat and efficient. Hope I painted an easy to see picture.
