Introduction: Most surgeons utilize a circular stapler (EEA) for construction of a colorectal anastomosis (CRA). Leakage and bleeding at this anastomosis carries significant morbidity. Recent studies have reported that the rate of anastomotic leakage in colorectal surgery with use of an EEA is around 3% to 7%. The reported rate of major bleeding from a colorectal anastomosis following use of an EEA ranges in most studies from 1.5% to 3.4%. Staple line reinforcement (SLR) is associated with incre
Introduction. Carcinomas of the small intestines are rare. Adenocarcinoma is the most common of the small bowel neoplasms and most commonly found in the duodenum, followed by the jejunum, and rarely the ileum.
