Latero-lateral end anastomosis for right hemicolectomy using staplers
The Japanese Journal of Surgery
|November 1, 1986
Summary
Right hemicolectomy using stapling devices like the linear stapler (LS) and gastrointestinal anastomosis (GIA) proved safe and quick. This surgical technique for bowel anastomosis showed no complications in seven patients.
Area of Science:
- Surgical techniques
- Gastrointestinal surgery
Background:
- Right hemicolectomy is a common surgical procedure.
- Anastomosis is a critical step in bowel reconstruction.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the safety and efficacy of stapling devices for latero-lateral end anastomoses in right hemicolectomy.
- To assess the complication rates associated with stapled anastomosis in this procedure.
Main Methods:
- Seven patients underwent right hemicolectomy for benign or malignant conditions.
- Latero-lateral end anastomoses were performed using linear stapler (LS) and gastrointestinal anastomosis (GIA) devices.
Main Results:
- No complications directly related to the anastomosis were observed in any of the seven patients.
- The use of stapling devices facilitated a rapid procedure.
Conclusions:
- Stapled anastomosis using LS and GIA devices is a safe and rapid method for right hemicolectomy.
- This technique minimizes complications associated with bowel anastomosis in right hemicolectomy procedures.
