title: [Latero-terminal anastomosis in colorectal surgery using a mechanical stapler. Technical note].
abstract: Following a discussion of the various methods of colorectal anastomosis in cancer surgery, the Authors describe a technical variant using a mechanical stapler in a high rectal location. The rapidity of anastomosis as well as the decreased risk of dehiscence, fistula and stenosis are underlined.
