    The end-to-end anastomosis (EEA) stapling device is effective for gastrointestinal surgery but requires surgeon proficiency. Initial use by multiple surgeons showed some complications, including mortality in 1.9% of low rectal cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Technology
    • Gastrointestinal Surgery
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • The end-to-end anastomosis (EEA) stapling device is a surgical tool used for creating gastrointestinal connections.
    • Initial adoption of new surgical technologies often presents a learning curve for practitioners.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the operative and postoperative complications associated with the early use of the EEA stapling device.
    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the EEA stapler in various gastrointestinal anastomoses.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of 106 patients undergoing end-to-end anastomoses (EEA) using the EEA stapling device.
    • Data collected from 26 surgeons across 11 hospitals, encompassing colon, small intestine, and gastric anastomoses.

    Main Results:

    • Overall mortality rate was 1.9% (2 patients) in low rectal anastomoses.
    • Anastomotic morbidity included 9% operative complications and 11% postoperative complications (leaks, fistula, stenosis).
    • Incidence of intra-abdominal abscess was 3% and wound infections was 18%.

    Conclusions:

    • The EEA stapling device can create reliable, inverted gastrointestinal anastomoses.
    • Safe and successful use of the EEA stapler necessitates adequate training and specific surgical skills.
    • Complications observed may be attributed to the initial learning experiences of the surgeons involved.
