[Application of suturing devices in gastrointestinal surgery].
Suturing devices of the firm "Auto Suture" have been widely used for two last years in Saratov Medical University clinic of surgery at pediatric faculty. 131 patients with gastrointestinal diseases (54 had cancer of the stomach, 35--ulcer of the stomach and the duodenum and 42--oncoproctologic diseases) were operated on with their help. Application of the suturing devices results in improved quality of the operations as the devices warrant excellent functional qualities of the anastomoses and their reliability. The duration of the operation decreases considerably. It works well in rectal surgery to increase significantly the number of organ-saving operations.
