Abstract
A surgical instrument includes an annular reload, and an anvil assembly configured to move relative to the annular reload between an open position and a preset closed position, in which the anvil assembly and the annular reload define a preset gap distance therebetween. A processor of the surgical instrument is configured to determine a difference between the preset gap distance and an actual gap distance gap distance between the anvil assembly and the annular reload, and adjust a staple stroke and a cutting stroke by the determined difference between the preset gap distance and the actual gap distance.
