Abstract
Purpose:
Our aim was to develop a Kono-S anastomotic technique using surgical staplers.
Methods:
Two patients underwent stapled Kono-S anastomosis, one via abdominal and one transanal approach.
Results:
The approach for an abdominal and transanal stapled Kono-S anastomosis is detailed.
Conclusion:
The Kono-S anastomosis can be safely configured using common surgical staplers.
