    Summary

    This study introduces a modified circular stapler that simplifies colorectal anastomosis by eliminating the need for pursestring sutures. This innovation facilitates low anterior resection with a double-row anastomosis using affordable staples.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical innovation in colorectal surgery
    • Gastrointestinal anastomosis techniques

    Background:

    • Traditional colorectal anastomosis construction using EEA or Russian staplers requires two pursestring sutures for colonic and rectal stumps.
    • This process can be time-consuming and technically demanding.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a modified circular stapler designed to streamline the colorectal anastomosis procedure.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of this novel stapler in clinical practice.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified circular stapler equipped with hooks was developed, negating the requirement for pursestring sutures.
    • The instrument utilizes inexpensive, manually inserted staples to create a double-row anastomosis.

    Main Results:

    • The modified stapler successfully constructs a double-row anastomosis.
    • Preliminary clinical evaluation indicates it significantly facilitates low anterior resection.
    • The use of cheap, manually inserted staples offers a cost-effective solution.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified circular stapler offers a simplified and cost-effective method for colorectal anastomosis.
    • This device enhances the feasibility of low anterior resection procedures.
