title: Experience with auto suture surgical stapling instruments. Fate of enterically applied staples.
abstract: Inverting serosa-to serosa staple applications may lead to intraluminal extrusion of staples. The possible clinical pathological consequences of such a migration are examined. Technical maneuvers designed to prevent errors and expedite safer handling of automatic stapling devices are presented. Automatic stapling instruments, both in the animal model and in the clinical situation, have produced eminently satisfactory results for us.
