  • Title: Stapler stricturoplasty for Crohn's disease.
    Author: Deutsch AA, Stern HS.
    Journal: Surg Gynecol Obstet; 1989 Nov; 169(5):458-60. PubMed ID: 2814760.
    Abstract:
    The operation of stricturoplasty for Crohn's disease is now widely accepted as a procedure that has enabled the preservation of the small intestine that would otherwise have been resected. This is particularly important when there are multiple and scattered strictures, in which short intestinal syndrome can be avoided. We have used automatic staplers for this technique with excellent results for 30 strictures in nine patients.
