A tool for performing anastomosis connects two tissue structures end-to-end. A
clamp holds each tissue structure. The clamps are movable relative to one another,
and are registered together such that the flaps of one tissue structure are pressed
against the corresponding flaps of the other tissue structure when the clamps come
together. Each flap of one tissue structure is connected to a corresponding flap
on the other corresponding tissue structure with at least one connector.
