A surgical stapling and severing instrument particularly suited to endoscopic procedures incorporates a handle that produces separate closing and firing motions to actuate an end effector. In particular, the handle produces multiple firing strokes in order to reduce the required amount of force required to fire (i.e., staple and sever) the end effector. A linked transmission reduces the required handle longitudinal length, yet achieves a rigid, strong configuration when straightened for firing. A traction biased firing mechanism avoids binding in driving this straightened linked rack in cooperation with an anti-backup mechanism, with a lockout mechanism that prevents releasing the closure trigger during firing. Furthermore, an external indicator gives feedback to the surgeon as to how far firing has progressed, as well as providing a manual retraction capability.

1. A surgical instrument, comprising:an end effector responsive to a longitudinal firing motion to perform a surgical operation;a shaft distally connected to the end effector;a firing member slidingly receiving by the shaft to transfer the firing motion to the end effector; anda handle proximally connected to the shaft and firing member, comprising:a barrel portion longitudinally aligned with the shaft,a grip portion projecting from the barrel portion,a linked rack formed from a plurality of links positioned in the barrel portion and distally coupled to the firing member, anda firing mechanism coupled to the linked rack to impart the firing motion.2. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein said linked rack formed from a plurality of links is positioned in said barrel portion and in the grip portion of said handle.3. The surgical instrument of claim 2, wherein each of the plurality of links are pivotally connected to an adjacent link by a pin member.4. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of links are pivotally connected.5. The surgical instrument of claim 4, wherein each of the plurality of links are pivotally connected to an adjacent link by a connection offset from a longitudinal axis of the linked rack.6. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of links contacts an adjacent link to form a flexible connection.7. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of links contacts an adjacent link to form a pivotable connection that is operably configured to pivot between a straight configuration defined by the barrel portion and a bent configuration defined by the grip portion.8. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein at least one link member includes a pusher surface operably engageable with said firing mechanism for imparting firing motion to said firing member.9. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein said linked rack formed from a plurality of links is operably coupled to a retraction member to move said firing member proximally in said barrel portion.10. The surgical instrument of claim 9, wherein said linked rack formed from a plurality of links is operably coupled to a retraction member that is bendable.11.
