Abstract
Patients with anastomoses at the anorectal ring, with or without anastomotic dehiscence, may develop large presacral collections. Such collections often drain poorly through the anastomosis, leading to chronic sepsis. A novel method of widely draining such collections by "marsupialization" into the bowel lumen with use of an endoscopic stapler inserted transanally is described.
