Recently, stapler anastomosis is the method of choice in low or ultra low resection for rectal carcinoma. In this study, risk of rectal stricture formation after double stapling colorectal anastomosis was evaluated. We here with presented an invitro investigation and a retrospective analysis of 91 cases of rectal carcinoma treated by low or ultra low anterior resection with hand-sewn or double-...

OBJECTIVES To assess outcomes after repair of enterocutaneous fistulae (ECF) and identify factors that predict mortality and recurrence. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS One hundred thirty-five patients undergoing ECF repair between 1989 and 2005. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Mortality and recurrence of ECF. RESULTS Definitive operation for ECF was attempted ...

Adequate oncological outcomes have been demonstrated with rectal resection and handsewn coloanal anastomosis (CAA) in tumours in close proximity to the internal anal sphincter. Our aim was to assess functional differences between handsewn CAA and ultralow stapled anastomosis. Participants were identified from a single-surgeon series. Included participants underwent anorectal physiology testing ...

A novel approach based on tracking the fate of proteins that become 'stapled' to the walls of the Golgi yields insights into the long-sought mechanism of transport through this organelle.

Antimicrobial peptides are promising candidates for anti-infective pharmaceuticals. Unfortunately, because of their low proteolytic and chemical stability, their usage is generally narrowed down to topical formulations. Until now, numerous approaches to increase peptide stability have been proposed. One of them, peptide hydrocarbon stapling, a modification based on stabilizing peptide secondary...

The aim of this study was to report the results of a stapled haemorrhoidopexy for patients with second to fourth degree of rectal prolapse, with reference to its feasibility as a day-surgery procedure. Between January 2005 and December 2007, 203 patients with symptomatic hemorrhoids have been operated for stapled haemorrhoidopexy. Surgery was performed between the 8:00 to 9:00 am using a standa...

AIM To demonstrated the efficacy an safety of a perineal stapled approach to treat the protrusion of the entire layer of the rectum outside the anus in high morbidity patients. MATHERIALS OF STUDY From February 2012 to april 2013, 7 patients (all female, mean age 74,2 years, range 48-88) were operated in our unit with perineal stapled prolapsed resection (PSPR) approach for a full thickness e...

BACKGROUND Stapled haemorrhoidopexy is a well recognized alternative to haemorrhoidectomy, and is associated with reduced pain and earlier return to normal activity. This paper reports all published cases of life-threatening sepsis following stapled haemorrhoidopexy, identifies causative factors and makes recommendations. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was performed by searchin...

This study was conducted to evaluate the mid-term results of cervical esophagogastric anastomosis using a side-to-side stapled anastomosis method for treatment of patients with malignant esophageal disease. A total of 13 patients were reviewed retrospectively from January 2001 to November 2005 who underwent total esophagectomy through a right thoracotomy, gastric tube formation through a midlin...
