[Delayed rupture of mechanically performed digestive tube suture (author's transl)]

Three months after a colo colic anastomosis with E.E.A stapler and sixteen months after a terminal closing of a jejunal Rous Y loop with G.I.A., the outcome of a intestinal distension caused leaks between staples. So it appears that the absence of a sclerotic scar around staples is a cause of weakness and then a disadvantage of his kind of intestinal suture.
