  • Title: Experimental development in colorectal surgery.
    Author: Lirici MM, Melzer A, Reutebuch O, Buess G.
    Journal: Endosc Surg Allied Technol; 1993 Feb; 1(1):20-5. PubMed ID: 8050004.
    Abstract:
    A one year research programme on endoscopic colorectal resections was carried out at the University of Tübingen. Two research lines were planned: the development of the required technologies and the development of the surgical procedure. During the research programme on technologies a new device provided with an air proof system for transanal insertion of the anvil of a divisible stapler and a new technique for closure of the colonic and rectal stumps (cable binding technique) were developed. Such technological innovations enabled the authors to accomplish a new combined laparoscopic-rectoscopic procedure which was performed according to four different variants in a series of 32 animals. The last 15 consecutive successful cases, performed according to the definitive procedure, represented a standardized animal trial before starting the clinical investigation.
