A new improved technique for placement of a pursestring suture on the edge of the distal part of the rectal stump using a skin stapler for low anterior resection

Abstract

Instead of a linear stapler or manual pursestring suture onto the lower part of the rectum, we placed a No. 2-0 Prolene suture on the edge of the rectal stump, using 12 to 16 clips and a disposable skin stapler. This technique is satisfactory for very low anterior resection.
