Where this comes from

Abstract

The conventional methods for making a J-pouch require a stab wound to introduce a linear stapler. We devised a novel procedure that removes any need for this stab wound. With our method, the bowel is first evaginated and a side-to-side anastomosis is created with a linear stapler and the intestine is then returned to a normal position.
