  • Title: [The EAA stapler in esophageal anastomoses].
    Author: Droissart R, De Mees J.
    Journal: Acta Chir Belg; 1984; 84(4):193-5. PubMed ID: 6485678.
    Abstract:
    Use of the EEA stapler for oesophageal anastomoses. Since december 1980 we performed with the EEA stapler 25 oesophago-jejunostomies after total gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Operative mortality was 8%. No anastomitic leak was observed. Three patients presented anastomotic stenosis: 2 of these were due to neoplastic recurrence. No particular technical difficulties occurred during the operations. The use of the EEA stapler improves the safety of oesophageal anastomoses and facilitates their realisation.
