  • Title: Complications of anterior resection of the rectum using the EEA stapling device.
    Author: Cade D, Gallagher P, Schofield PF, Turner L.
    Journal: Br J Surg; 1981 May; 68(5):339-40. PubMed ID: 7225760.
    Abstract:
    Fifty patients had anterior resection of the rectum performed with end-to-end anastomosis using the EEA stapling device. The instrument certainly facilitated low anastomoses, but anastomotic dehiscence occurred in 3 cases, stenosis in 2, wound sepsis in 10, some degree os incontinence (usually only temporary) in 7 and anal fissure in 4 cases.
