Abstract:
A closed-lumen procedure of coloanal anastomosis with a reservoir, performed exclusively with staplers to reduce spillage, is described. This stapling procedure provides three advantages: simplicity, reduction of spillage, and the preservation of sphincteric structures. In 33 procedures performed, 2 (6%) anastomotic leakages and 5 (15%) dilatable stenoses occurred.
