title: The reverse end insertion technique for rectal anastomosis with the EEA stapler.
abstract: An alternative technique for colorectal or ileorectal anastomosis using the EEA and the TA stapler is presented. This technique overcomes the problem of disproportion in size between the ileum or colon and the rectum. It allows the surgeon to examine the anastomosis directly.
