Purse-string placement for transanal intraluminal circular stapling. 1986

A M Cohen

A technique is described that obviates the difficulty in sliding the proximal colon over the intraluminal stapling anvil. The stapler is passed per anus and advanced fully, allowing the colon to be placed over the anvil and tied under direct vision. The stapler is retracted, and only then is the rectal purse-string tied.
