title: [Mechanical anastomoses with the ILS stapler in surgery of the esophagus. 73 cases].
abstract: The authors report on their experience of 200 anastomoses of the oesophagus, 73 of which were performed with the ILS stapler. They describe the instrument and the way it should be used and insist on the check-ups required to make sure that the anastomosis is leak-proof. The results are reviewed by category of anastomosis (with the stomach, jejunum or colon). In view of its advantages and notably its safety, this type of instrument deserves to be widely used.
