Abstract
The aims of this study were to describe and evaluate a new method of performing a stapled, functional end-to-end anastomosis following right hemicolectomy. The widely patent anastomosis is constructed by two "firings" of a nondisposable linear cutting stapler. The medical records and follow-up details of all patients undergoing this procedure were reviewed. This technique, which can be performed quickly and safely, has been used in 42 patients. There have been no instances of short-term or long-term anastomotic complications. The initial experience with this simplified technique of stapled anastomosis following right hemicolectomy has been favorable.
