    Abstract:
    To avoid bowel tears on the esophagojejunal or colorectal mechanical anastomoses during insertion of the EEA stapler, we applied a local anesthetic to the stump of the bowel, then gently dilated the bowel with Doyen's intestinal clamp. This approach makes way for use of a larger cartridge and a more satisfactory anastomoses.
