Use of glucagon in conjunction with the end-to-end anastomosis (EEA) stapling device for low anterior anastomoses
Abstract
We have found intravenous glucagon useful in overcoming the spasm of the rectal stump that one sometimes encounters while performing transanal end-to-end anastomosis using the EEA stapling device.
