title: [Low colorectal suture with the EEA stapling device for carcinoma of the rectum. A report of 50 cases (author's transl)].
abstract: 50 cases of low colorectal anastomosis (between 3 to 10 cm from the anal verge) are reported. They have been done with the EEA stapling device after resection for rectal or rectosigmoïdal carcinomas. The peroperative incidents (5 cases) and details to prevent them are described. A protective colostomy was done in 10 cases. No leak had been observed. Recurrency and suture line stenosis are discussed. No anal incontinency, even for very low anastomosis had been observed.
