  • Title: A stapling instrument for end-to-end inverting anastomoses in the gastrointestinal tract.
    Author: Ravitch MM, Steichen FM.
    Journal: Ann Surg; 1979 Jun; 189(6):791-7. PubMed ID: 453950.
    Abstract:
    A stapling instrument is described for end-to-end inverting anastomoses applicable principally to low rectal anastomosis or esophagogastric or esophagojejunal anastomosis. The instrument creates an inverting anastomosis held by a double staggered row of stainless steel wire staples creating an anastomosis 21.2 mm internal diameter with no significant inverted flange. The early experience is encouraging.
