  • Title: [Total gastrectomy: a comparison between manual and mechanical sutures].
    Author: Drago GW, Bigliani S, Kiss A, Lanfranchi M, Marino BM, Mazza A, Piccoli F, Rossi R, Vitale L.
    Journal: Minerva Chir; 1994; 49(1-2):21-5. PubMed ID: 8208464.
    Abstract:
    The authors report their experience of the use of mechanical staplers in total gastrectomy. The advantages of their use can above all be seen in anastomosis, in particular in high-risk areas like esophago-jejunal anastomosis, in which there is a lower incidence of dehiscence and mortality than when manual suturing techniques are used.
