Gastrointestinal anastomoses constructed with singly placed staples

Abstract:
Thirty gastrointestinal anastomoses were created in dogs by stapling with singly placed staples, using a commercially available skin and fascial stapler. The exercise served to illustrate the advantages of automation of individual sutures rather than the whole suture line, pointing out a new direction for the future development of gastrointestinal staplers.
