Bleeding from stapler anastomosis
Abstract
Three patients with massive bleeding after stapler-performed intestinal anastomosis are reported on. Two patients required secondary operation for control. The cause was mechanical instrument failure. Periodic in vitro testing is recommended as a preventive measure.
