  • Title: Transcolonic approach for a stapled end-to-end colorectal anastomosis in low anterior resection.
    Author: Korenaga D, Orita H, Toh Y, Maekawa S, Ikeda T, Sugimachi K.
    Journal: Hepatogastroenterology; 1996; 43(10):832-4. PubMed ID: 8884298.
    Abstract:
    We designed the transcolonic approach for a stapled end-to-end colorectal anastomosis using a premium curved EEA in low anterior resection. The advantage of this repair is the elimination of transanal introduction of the stapler by a second assistant from below, which make the stapled anastomosis technically easier and safer. The fact that the anvil can be removed from the center shaft by pressing on the anvil release button allows the anvil to be released from anus, which theoretically prevents suture break down. This procedure can be considered for selected patients who have anal structure and where it is impossible to insert the instrument.
