    Abstract:
    The application of mechanic sewing apparatus has obtained significant position in surgery of gastrointestinal tract. The EEA stapler (ILS Proximate) is improved, suitable and useful instrument for the performance of anastomosis after resection, and technically is equivalent to the normal suture techniques. It is especially convenient for the creation of low rectal anastomoses, thus definitive anus preter can be avoided. In 10 cases of rectal carcinoma, anterior resections and stapled anastomoses (3 were below 7 cm from anal border) were applied. In spite of insufficient number of surgically treated cases, surgical treatment was without technical problems and without postoperative dehiscence. Especially at low anastomoses, the importance of satisfactory suture techniques, adequate vascularization, avoidance of tissue tension, adequate selection and regulation of instruments are emphasized.
