Stapled esophagogastric anastomosis.

R A Hopkins, J C Alexander, R W Postlethwait

    American Journal of Surgery
    |February 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Esophagogastric anastomosis using staplers or sutures had similar leak rates. However, stapled anastomoses showed a higher incidence of stricture formation. Meticulous technique is crucial for both methods.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Surgical Outcomes

    Background:

    • Esophagogastric anastomosis is a critical surgical procedure.
    • Suture and stapler techniques are commonly employed for anastomosis.
    • Comparing the outcomes of these techniques is essential for patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the rates of anastomotic leak and stricture formation between suture and stapler esophagogastric anastomosis.
    • To evaluate the long-term complications associated with each technique.

    Main Methods:

    • A consecutive, nonrandomized series of 92 patients undergoing esophagogastric anastomosis.
    • Patients were divided into two groups: suture technique (32 patients) and stapler technique (60 patients).
    • Outcomes assessed included anastomotic leak and subsequent stricture formation.

    Main Results:

    • One anastomotic leak occurred in each group (sutured vs. stapled).
    • Stricture formed in 3 sutured anastomoses versus 8 stapled anastomoses.
    • Published data indicate a 3.5% leak rate for stapled and approximately 10% for sutured anastomoses.

    Conclusions:

    • Both suture and stapler techniques for esophagogastric anastomosis demonstrate comparable anastomotic leak rates in this series.
    • Stapler use was associated with a higher rate of stricture formation compared to sutures.
    • Regardless of the technique, meticulous attention to surgical detail remains paramount for optimal outcomes.
