title: [Esophago-jejunal anastomosis using an end-to-end anastomosis stapler. Clinico-radiologic study of early complications in 75 cases].
abstract: Personal experience with 75 consecutive cases of terminolaterale oesophagojejunal anastomosis by EEA Stapler is reported. A total of 6 intraoperative technical problems were encountered (8%) and consisted either of incomplete suturing of the anastomosis or stapling of the jejunal wall. Postoperative radiology revealed 5 dehiscences (6.6%) and 1 stenosis (1.33%). One patient with dehiscence died (1.33%) of septic complications. One dehiscence of the afferent jejunal stump and minor pleuropulmonary complications were observed in 3 cases. After a brief review of the literature, it is concluded that oesophagojejunal anastomosis by EEA Stapler produces a low incidence of postoperative complications such as the dehiscence, stenosis or bleeding.
