[Auto-suture stapler EEA in surgery of the colon and rectum [author's transl)].
The increasing use of auto-suture staplers for gastrointestinal anastomoses makes it necessary to test the value of this new method of suturing. In a "pilot study" the practicability, the tightness and permeability of the anastomosis and complications were tested and analysed in a total of 30 colon and rectal anastomoses using the EEA-suture gun. The results of 14 colon resections and 16 low anterior resections justify the further use of the EEA auto-suture apparatus and raise the question of a prospective controlled random study in which manual and mechanical machine sutured anastomoses are compared.
