FIELD [0002] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of reposable or reusable surgical instruments. In particular, the disclosure relates to instruments having separable and replaceable components to provide clean, sterile or refurbished surfaces in each instance of use. BACKGROUND [0003] One type of surgical device is a linear clamping, cutting and stapling device. Such a device may be employed in a surgical procedure to resect a cancerous or anomalous tissue from a gastro-intestinal tract. Conventional linear clamping, cutting and stapling instruments include a pistol grip-styled structure having an elongated shaft and distal portion. The distal portion includes a pair of scissors-styled gripping elements, which clamp the open ends of the colon closed. In this device, one of the two scissors-styled gripping elements, such as the anvil portion, moves or pivots relative to the overall structure, whereas the other gripping element remains fixed relative to the overall structure. The actuation of this scissoring device (the pivoting of the anvil portion) is controlled by a grip trigger maintained in the handle. [0004] In addition to the scissoring device, the distal portion also includes a stapling mechanism. The fixed gripping element of the scissoring mechanism includes a staple cartridge receiving region and a mechanism for driving the staples up through the clamped end of the tissue against the anvil portion, thereby sealing the previously opened end. The scissoring elements may be integrally formed with the shaft or may be detachable such that various scissoring and stapling elements may be interchangeable.
    2 [0005] A number of surgical device manufacturers have developed product lines with proprietary drive systems for operating and/or manipulating such surgical device. In many instances, such surgical device further includes a handle assembly, which is reusable, and a disposable end effector or the like that is selectively connected to the handle assembly prior to use and then disconnected from the end effector following use in order to be disposed of or in some instances sterilized for re-use. [0006] Surgical devices that are reposable, or reusable for multiple procedures, reduce the instrumentation costs per procedure. Providing a reusable surgical device, however, presents various challenges. For example, the complexity of a surgical device tends to result in fairly labor intensive cleaning procedures to prepare the surgical device for subsequent use. Improper cleaning may result in dangerous contamination being introduced into the surgical site. Also, some reusable surgical devices have removable and replaceable components to provide clean surfaces for each use. Many of these surgical devices require arduous disassembly and reassembly procedures that require extensive training, and may discourage use of the surgical device. OBJECT [0007] It is the object of the present invention to substantially overcome or ameliorate one or more of the disadvantages of the prior art, or at least provide a useful alternative. SUMMARY [0008] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a surgical instrument is provided. The surgical instrument includes an outer housing shell defining a cavity, the outer housing shell defining an upper outer housing half and a lower outer housing half, wherein the upper outer housing half defines a longitudinal axis and an instrument module selectively insertable into the cavity of the outer housing shell. The instrument module includes an inner housing shell, at least one motor disposed within the inner housing shell, the at least one motor including a drive shaft defining an operative axis of rotation, a control board disposed within the inner housing and being in electrical communication with the at least one motor and an energy source disposed within the inner housing and being in electrical communication with the at least one motor and the control board. The instrument module is inserted into the cavity of the outer housing shell in such a manner that the operative axis of the 3 at least one motor is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the upper outer housing half. [0009] Additionally, the outer housing shell may be devoid of movable switches. [0010] In an exemplary embodiment, the upper outer housing half and the lower outer housing half combine to form a pistol-grip configuration. [0011] The outer housing shell may be at least partially translucent or at least partially transparent. [0012] In another exemplary embodiment, the upper outer housing half includes at least one speaker for providing feedback information related to tissue parameters and surgical instrument parameters measured during a surgical procedure. [0013] In yet another exemplary embodiment, the upper outer housing half includes at least one viewing window for viewing a display screen disposed therein displaying information related to tissue parameters and surgical instrument parameters measured during a surgical procedure. The display screen includes at least one of numerical indicators and color indicators. [0014] Moreover, the control board electrically communicates with at least one processor for enabling flow of electrosurgical energy between the energy source and the at least one motor. [0015] In yet another exemplary embodiment, the lower outer housing half includes an instrument shell cover hingedly connected thereto, the instrument shell cover configured to swivel into place after the instrument module is inserted into the cavity of the outer housing shell. Alternatively, an instrument shell cover is attached to at least a portion of the lower outer housing half, such that the upper and lower outer housing halves attach to the instrument shell cover to form a secure connection. [0016] The outer housing shell may define at least one opening formed in a distal surface thereof for receiving the drive shaft therethrough when the instrument module is fully disposed in the outer housing shell.
    4 [0017] A seal may be supported in the opening formed in the distal surface of the outer housing shell, wherein the seal forms a fluid-tight seal between the outer housing shell and the drive shaft. [0018] The instrument module may include a plurality of motors each including a drive shaft extending therefrom. The outer housing shell may define a plurality of openings formed in a distal surface thereof for receiving a respective drive shaft therethrough when the instrument module is fully disposed in the outer housing shell. A seal may be supported in each opening formed in the distal surface of the outer housing shell, wherein each seal forms a fluid tight seal between the outer housing shell and the respective drive shaft. [0019] In another exemplary embodiment, a method of performing a surgical procedure is presented. The method includes the steps of providing an outer housing shell defining a cavity, the outer housing shell defining an upper outer housing half and a lower outer housing half, wherein the upper outer housing half defines a longitudinal axis and selectively inserting an instrument module into the cavity of the outer housing shell. The instrument module includes an inner housing shell, at least one motor disposed within the inner housing shell, the at least one motor including a drive shaft defining an operative axis of rotation, a control board disposed within the inner housing and being in electrical communication with the at least one motor and an energy source disposed within the inner housing and being in electrical communication with the at least one motor and the control board. The instrument module is inserted into the cavity of the outer housing shell in such a manner that the operative axis of the at least one motor is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the upper outer housing half.

Battery 120 and at least one control board 130 are disposed within inner housing shell 111. Lower instrument module half 11GB is configured to be gripped by a user, such as surgeon, during a surgical procedure. Additionally, upper instrument module half I IA and lower instrument module half 11GB may combine to form a substantially L- shaped or pistol-grip configuration. [0034] At least one control board 130 is connected, on the one hand, electrically to battery 120, and, on the other hand, to at least one motor 140. To this end, electric contacts (not shown) are provided on an upper side of battery 120 for establishing an electric connection with at least one control board 130. Additionally, at least one control board 130 electrically communicates with at least one processor (not shown) for enabling flow of electrosurgical energy between the energy source (e.g., battery 120) and each motor 140.
    7 [0035] Each motor 140 is configured to include, for instance, a drive shaft 142. Drive shaft 142 defines an operative axis of rotation "B." Each motor 140 is configured to actuate a function or operation of an end effector assembly (not shown), including but not limited to, articulating, rotating, closing of the jaw members, ejecting fasteners, cutting, and the like. [0036] Instrument module 110 may include a speaker 150 (see FIG. IB), at a proximal end 104 thereof, for providing feedback information related to tissue parameters and surgical instrument parameters measured during a surgical procedure. Speaker 150 may be used to provide audible feedback. Audible feedback may be used in conjunction with or in lieu of the visual outputs. [0037] Instrument module 110 may include display screen 160 disposed therein displaying information related to tissue parameters and surgical instrument parameters measured during a surgical procedure. Display screen 160 may be configured to provide the surgeon with a variety of suitable output information. Display screen 160 may include at least one of numerical indicators and color indicators.

End effector assembly may be a pair of jaw members for clamping tissue in the first position. Return button 180 may be configured to return the jaw members to an open, unclamped position (or second position). [0039] Referring to FIG. 2, a method of inserting a reusable surgical instrument module 110 into an outer housing shell 280 having a hinged instrument cover shell 290, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure is presented. [0040] Outer housing shell 280 defines a cavity 282 therein. Outer housing shell 280 defines an upper outer housing half 280A and a lower outer housing half 280B. Upper outer housing half 280A defines a longitudinal axis "A" extending therethrough. Outer housing shell 280 also includes instrument shell cover 290 connected to lower outer housing half 280B via a hinged connection 292. Instrument shell cover 290 may rotate or pivot in direction "C" after instrument module 1 10 has been fully inserted into outer housing shell 280, as 8 described below. In accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure, outer housing shell 280 may be devoid of movable switches. [0041] In operation or use, instrument module 110 is inserted into cavity 282 of outer housing shell 280 in such a manner that operative axis "B" of at least one motor 140 is substantially parallel to longitudinal axis "A" of upper outer housing half 280A. Stated differently, instrument module 110 is configured to be inserted into reusable outer housing shell 280, such that instrument module I 10 is inserted and extracted along an axis of operation of at least one motor 140 or along longitudinal axis "B." Upper instrument module half I IOA is configured to underlie or nest upper outer housing half 280A, whereas lower instrument module half IOB is configured to underlie or nest lower outer housing half 280B. Once instrument shell 110 is fully inserted into outer housing shell 280, instrument shell cover 290 is rotated, in direction "C," in order to create a secure seal with outer housing shell 280. [0042] Following a surgical procedure, instrument shell cover 290 is opened and instrument module 110 is withdrawn from or removed from cavity 282 of outer housing shell 280 such that outer housing shell 280 and shell cover 290 may be cleaned in accordance with methods and procedures known in the art, for example, sterilizing, autoclaving, steam cleaning, wiping with cleaning products/solvents and the like. Thus, outer housing shell 280 and shell cover 290 may be cleaned or sterilized without compromising instrument module 110 inserted therein. Once cleaning or sterilization has been completed, instrument module 110 may be re-introduced into cavity 282 of outer housing shell 280 prior to performing a further surgical procedure. [0043] Referring to FIG. 3, a method of inserting a reusable surgical instrument module 110 into an outer housing shell 380 having a snapable instrument cover shell 390, in accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated. [0044] Outer housing shell 380 defines a cavity 382 therein. Outer housing shell 380 defines an upper outer housing half 380A and a lower outer housing half 380B. Upper outer housing half 380A defines a longitudinal axis "D" extending therethrough. Lower outer housing half 380B of outer housing shell 380 may connect or attach to instrument shell cover 390 via, for example, a snapable mechanism including fasteners (not shown). Additionally, a clear viewing window 385 may be constructed so that it overlays a display screen (e.g., as 9 described above with reference to FIGS. lA and IB). Viewing window 385 is designed for viewing the display screen disposed therein displaying information related to tissue parameters and surgical instrument parameters measured during a surgical procedure. [0045] In accordance with the present disclosure, it is contemplated that outer housing shell 380 (as well as outer housing shells 180, 280) may be fabricated from a translucent or transparent material, such as, for example, a polycarbonate resin thermoplastic. As so constructed, indicia from display screen 160 of instrument module 110 or the like. It is further contemplated that at least a portion of outer housing shell 380 may be translucent or transparent. [0046] In operation or use, instrument module 110 is inserted into cavity 382 of outer housing shell 380 in such a manner that operative axis "E" of at least one motor 140 (or of at least one drive shaft 142) is substantially parallel to longitudinal axis "D" of upper outer housing half 11 OA. Stated differently, instrument module 1 10 is configured to be inserted into instrument outer housing shell 380, such that instrument module 110 is inserted and extracted along an axis of operation of at least one motor 140, or along longitudinal axis "E." Upper instrument module half 1OA is configured to underlie or nest upper outer housing half 380A, whereas lower instrument module half 11 OB is configured to underlie or nest lower outer housing half 380B. Once instrument shell cover 390 is attached to a portion of lower outer housing half 380B, instrument module 1 10 is inserted into outer housing shell 380 such that upper outer housing half 380A and the remaining portion of the lower outer housing half 380B lock or secure or seal with instrument shell cover 390 along connection region 395. [0047] Following a surgical procedure, instrument shell cover 390 is withdrawn or unsnapped from lower outer housing half 380B (at connection region 395) and instrument module 110 is withdrawn from or removed from cavity 382 of outer housing shell 380 such that outer housing shell 380 and shell cover 390 may be cleaned in accordance with methods and procedures known in the art. Thus, outer housing shell 380 may be cleaned or sterilized without compromising instrument module 110 inserted therein. Once cleaning or sterilization has been completed, instrument module 110 may be re-introduced into cavity 382 of outer housing shell 380 prior to performing a further surgical procedure. [0048] Turning now to FIG. 4, in accordance with the present disclosure, it is contemplated
