  • Title: Construction of the intestinal stoma with an intraluminal stapling device.
    Author: Donovan JF, Winfield HN, Williams RD.
    Journal: J Urol; 1989 Nov; 142(5):1279-81. PubMed ID: 2810507.
    Abstract:
    We have used the intraluminal circular stapler to facilitate construction of the intestinal conduit stoma. We have encountered no complications related to the stapled stoma construction technique in 8 patients. The stoma is circular, uniform in size and is fitted easily with an appliance. The circular staple line provides a watertight seal that prevents contamination of the subcutaneous tissues. The technique is rapid, reliable and reproducible.
