[Caustic rectal stenosis. Trans-anal resection using an EEA stapler].
An original treatment of caustic rectal stenosis due to abuse of analgesic suppositories is presented. The stenosis had been excluded by distal colostomy during 2 years before reconstruction of the circuit was attempted. Anatomically, the stenosis appeared as a complete diaphragm which could be recanalized by an EEA stapler for circular anastomosis, installed in two sites: endoluminal from the colostomy and perineal. After a 2-year follow-up, the anatomical and functional results are satisfactory.
