BACKGROUND There is a lack of studies comparing stapled suturing and hand-sewn suturing in the surgeries of gastrointestinal tumors based on the clinical practice of Chinese surgeons. METHODS Data were retrospectively collected from 499 patients who underwent surgery to remove gastrointestinal tumors from January 2008 to December 2009. The patients were divided into two groups according to th...

INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is a common, well-established procedure, but no consensus regarding selection of the gastrojejunostomy (GJ) technique has been reached, and standardization of this precise technique is far from being achieved. AIM To compare circular-stapled and linear-stapled GJ in LRYGB in terms of operative time and postoperative complications. M...

Symptomatic hemorhoidal disease is a serious issue affecting the quality of life. The multiplicity of current interventional procedures reflects the failure of covering all pathological aspects, thus justifying the quest for other operative solutions. Any new operative procedure is challenged by the need for broad applicability and less invasive attributes and should fit inside the frame of rea...

PURPOSE Stapled transanal rectal resection is advocated for the treatment of obstructed defecation syndrome. Supporting evidence for its safety and effectiveness has been lacking. To address this, the European Stapled Transanal Rectal Resection Registry was initiated in January 2006. This study was designed to analyze 12-month postoperative outcomes of this procedure using data collected in the...

Aim To evaluate cost-effectiveness of stapled hemorrhoidectomy comparing its results with conventional technique. Source of data We retrospectively analyzed the MEDLINE data basis from 2000 to 2004 studying randomized clinical trials which compared pain intensity, recovery period, return to work and occurrence of anal incontinence, in addition to postoperative complications and costs evaluation...

A CuAAC reaction was established for modular synthesis of end-stapled homo- and hetero-triple helical peptides, generating "clicked" macro-assemblies with enhanced thermal stability.

Background: Stapled Hemorroidectomy is more popular alternative, has higher safety profile, and quickly established than the open procedure. Objective:The study aimed to compare between early post-operative outcomes of haemorrhoidectomy stapled. Methods:A total 50 patients age group 20 70years who were diagnosed with grade 3 4 hemorrhoids, divided into two groups equally. contains 25 Patients u...

HYPOTHESIS Although perceived as a more technically demanding and time-consuming technique, the hand-sewn gastrojejunostomy during laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is associated with fewer complications and lower costs than stapled techniques. DESIGN A retrospective medical record review of prospectively collected data. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS One hundred eight c...

The creation of a gastrointestinal tract anastomosis is a fundamental and important surgical procedure. The mean incidence of clinically apparent leakage after gastrointestinal tract anastomosis ranges from 2.1% to 14.9%. Although many techniques for successfully producing such anastomoses have been described, the goal of these techniques to be technically feasible and safe. In the 1960s, Steic...
