  • Title: Local recurrence following anterior resection for carcinoma of the rectum with a stapled anastomosis.
    Author: Bokey EL, Chapuis PH, Hughes WJ, Koorey SG, Dunn D.
    Journal: Acta Chir Scand; 1984; 150(8):683-6. PubMed ID: 6532043.
    Abstract:
    Forty-four patients underwent an anterior resection for carcinoma of the rectum using the EEA stapling device. After a two-year follow-up period, two patients had developed a local recurrence alone, and four a local recurrence in the presence of disseminated disease. These were compared to a group of 108 patients with carcinoma of the rectum who had an anterior resection with a hand-sewn anastomosis. There was no difference in the incidence of local recurrence between the two groups.
