Transanal dilation using circular stapling for benign rectal stenosis: report of a case.
When a simple procedure such as bougie, balloon dilation and transanal incision are not effective for severe stenosis after colorectal anastomotic leakage, a surgical operation is required. We report a case of transanal dilation using circular stapling for severe stricture in the colorectal anastomosis following low anterior resection.
