Five years' experience in stapling the oesophagus and rectum

H K Graham, G W Johnston, S T McKelvey

    The British Journal of Surgery
    |October 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Circular stapling devices show encouraging initial results for esophageal and colorectal anastomoses. While complications like dehiscence, leakage, and strictures occurred, most were manageable.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Circular stapling devices offer an alternative for surgical anastomoses.
    • Evaluating their efficacy in esophageal and colorectal surgery is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the initial outcomes of circular stapling devices in esophageal and colorectal anastomoses.
    • To report complication rates and their management.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of 143 anastomoses performed between 1976 and 1980.
    • Procedures included 101 esophageal (varices, cancer surgery) and 42 colorectal (anterior resection) anastomoses.

    Main Results:

    • Encouraging initial results were observed over a 2-month to 5-year follow-up.
    • Complications included 3 anastomotic dehiscences, 4 leakages, and 10% stricture formation, mostly manageable.

    Conclusions:

    • Circular stapling devices demonstrate promising initial efficacy for esophageal and colorectal anastomoses.
    • Careful monitoring and management are essential to address potential complications like strictures.
