Claim 10:
11. The handheld electromechanical surgical system according to claim 10, wherein the adapter assembly includes:
a first force/rotation transmitting/converting assembly for interconnecting a respective one drive shaft of the surgical device and the trocar drive screw of the trocar assembly, wherein the first force/rotation transmitting/converting assembly includes:
a first proximal rotation receiving member that is connectable to a respective rotatable drive shaft of the surgical device; and
a first distal force transmitting member that is connected to the trocar drive screw of the trocar assembly, the first distal force transmitting member being non-rotatably connected to the first proximal rotation receiving member;

at least a second force/rotation transmitting/converting assembly for interconnecting a respective one drive shaft of the surgical device and a respective one of the annular staple pusher and the circular knife carrier of the surgical reload, wherein:
the second force/rotation transmitting/converting assembly includes:
a second proximal rotation receiving member that is connectable to a respective rotatable drive shaft of the surgical device; and
a second distal force transmitting member that is connectable to the respective one of the annular staple pusher and the circular knife carrier of the surgical reload, the second distal force transmitting member being connected to the second proximal rotation receiving member in such a manner whereby rotation of the second proximal rotation receiving member is converted to axial translation of the second distal force transmitting member, and in turn, axial translation of the respective one of the annular staple pusher and the circular knife carrier of the surgical reload.
