Diseases of the Colon and Rectum
|March 1, 1985
Abstract:
A retrospective study was done comparing the rates of local recurrence in cancer of the rectum treated by low anterior resection using the stapling device or hand-sewn. It was found that there was no increase in recurrences when the stapler was used, even though lower lesions were treated.
