title: [Use of mechanical staplers in surgical therapy of morbid obesity].
abstract: The Author reports the experience of the III Surgical Department of the University of Milan on stapling devices in bariatric surgery. The use of stapling devices is now almost irreplaceable for some surgical interventions like gastroplasty, jejuno-ileal bypass, and intestinal bypass revision because staplers simplify and shorten operating procedures, also reducing surgical risk.
