  • Title: [Mechanical sutures in surgery of cancer of the rectum (a personal contribution)].
    Author: Crucitti F, Sofo L, Doglietto GB, Bellantone R, Perri V, Zucchetti F.
    Journal: Chir Ital; 1983 Dec; 35(6):823-30. PubMed ID: 6680887.
    Abstract:
    The EEA Stapler is widely employed in the rectal cancer surgery, particularly allowing a more frequent sphincteric preservation after low anterior resection. The authors rather employ the manual suture whenever possible and report their own experience on EEA Stapler employment in the surgical management of rectal cancer located 12 to 6 cm. from the anal verge. They emphasize this technique pointing out the necessity of further investigations which may confirm the possibility of obtaining a curative complete surgical removal as well as by abdomino-perineal resection.
