  • Title: Colostomy closure with the automatic surgical stapler.
    Author: Hummel SJ, Delgado G.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 1983 Sep; 62(3):386-8. PubMed ID: 6877694.
    Abstract:
    Surgical stapling instruments have been used successfully in gastrointestinal anastomosis. A surgical technique using the staples to close a loop colostomy in gynecologic oncology patients is presented. The procedure shortens operating time and results in an enlarged anastomotic site, thus minimizing the possibility of obstruction at the site.
