  • Title: Use of circular stapling gun with peranal insertion of anorectal purse-string suture for construction of very low colorectal or colo-anal anastomoses.
    Author: Goligher JC.
    Journal: Br J Surg; 1979 Jul; 66(7):501-4. PubMed ID: 380738.
    Abstract:
    A technique is described for construction of the colorectal or colo-anal anastomosis in low rectal resection by using an automatic circular stapling device and inserting the anorectal purse-string suture peranally from below. This method was employed in 4 patients resulting in complete healing in 3 cases and a moderate leak in 1, which, however, eventually healed satisfactorily.
