Use of circumferential stapler in reconstruction following resections for carcinoma of the cardia

JE Molina, BR Lawton and D Avance

The use of the End-to-End Anastomosis (EEA) circumferential stapler for reconstruction following resection of the esophagus and stomach for carcinoma of the cardia is reported here in 9 consecutive patients with fifteen anastomoses performed with this unit. The technical aspects of the EEA stapler are emphasized. Two frequent problems associated with this type of operation namely, stenosis or leak at the suture line, are completely avoided by the use of this stapler unit. Its use is recommended.
