yunque del nº31

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general)
Hi everyone, I'm doing a challenging medical report and could really use your help. This term is under the description of the surgery (laparoscopic approach, sectioning colon with diverticulosis and sigmoid polyps) and the context is:

Se realiza incisión suprapúbica, se protege la pared con campo anillado y se exterioriza el segmento colorrectal.
Sección del colon, proximal a tinción, enviando la pieza a Anatomía Patológica, y realización de bolsa de tabaco en colon proximal con Surgipro 2/0.
Se coloca yunque del n° 31 y se introduce en cavidad peritoneal.
Cierre de la pared por planos.

The proximal bowel is opened using a vessel-sealing device and the anvil is introduced. The colon is divided with a stapler and the anvil is retrieved by gently pulling on the suture.
