Surgical stapling assembly comprising first and second actuation systems configured to perform different functions

A surgical stapling assembly, comprising:

• an end effector, comprising:
• a staple cartridge;
• and
• staples deployable from said staple cartridge;
• a shaft assembly extending proximally from said end effector;
• a housing;
• a rotary motion actuator supported by said housing;
• a first actuation system configured to cause said end effector to perform a first function;
• a second actuation system configured to cause said end effector to perform a second function different from said first function;
• and
• a selector arrangement operable in a first orientation and a second orientation, wherein said rotary motion actuator is configured to operably interface with said first actuation system in said first orientation to cause said end effector to perform said first function, wherein said second actuation system is inactive in said first orientation, wherein said rotary motion actuator is configured to operably interface with said second actuation system to cause said end effector to perform said second function, and wherein said first actuation system is inactive in said second orientation.

A surgical stapling assembly, comprising:

• an end effector, comprising:
• a staple cartridge;
• and
• staples deployable from said staple cartridge into tissue;
• a shaft assembly extending proximally from said end effector;
• a housing;
• a rotary motion actuator supported by said housing;
• a first actuation system configured to cause said end effector to perform a first function;
• a second actuation system configured to cause said end effector to perform a second function different from said first function;
• and
• a selector arrangement transitionable between a first position and a second position, wherein said rotary motion actuator is configured to operably interface with said first actuation system in said first position to cause said end effector to perform said first function, wherein said second actuation system is inactive in said first position, wherein said rotary motion actuator is configured to operably interface with said second actuation system to cause said end effector to perform said second function, and wherein said first actuation system is inactive in said second position.
