Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A surgical instrument (120) comprising a handle portion (126), an elongate tubular portion (122) extending distally from the handle portion, a drive rod (100) rotatably mounted within the elongate tubular portion and an actuator (128) operatively associated with the drive rod, such that actuation of the actuator rotates the drive rod relative to the tubular portion, and a plurality of surgical tacks (60), a distal end of said surgical tacks being smooth or rounded to avoid traumatizing tissue; wherein a distal section of the drive rod is sufficiently elongate so as to receive multiple surgical tacks therealong, and said distal section of the drive rod has a pointed distal end to facilitate initially piercing tissue.
