Abstract:
We describe a patient who underwent laparoscopic conversion of a Polya gastrectomy to a Roux-en-Y. We used the "Endo Stitch" (Autosuture Co., Ascot, UK) to simplify the creation of a laparoscopic anastomosis. The patient required minimal analgesia and made a rapid and uncomplicated recovery.
