title: [Use of surgical staplers in gastrointestinal surgery].
abstract: Reported in this paper is the use of staplers in gastro-intestinal surgery. Three soviet-made types of staplers, UO 40/60, NShKA, and SPTU (comparable to TA 30/55/90, GIA, and EEA) were used on the upper part of the gastro-intestinal tract in 237 cases and in colorectal surgery on 66 patients. The UO stapler worked well, when used for closure of uncomplicated duodenal stumps, though no absolute indication can be claimed for such application. The SPTU type, on the other hand, proved to be an ideal solution in cases of oesophago-jejunostomy with intrathoracic localisation of the anastomosis. Another, nearly absolute indication for the use of the SPTU can be claimed for anterior rectum resection (especially in male patients) with narrow pelvis and tense pelvic floor.
