[Stapling devices on stomach and small bowel (author's transl)]. 1981

G Jacobs, and B Ulrich

Sutures, blind closures, and anstomoses can be performed on the stomach and the small bowel with LDS, GIA, TA, and EEA staplers. The advantage of using these devices is a fast, clean operation, with safety comparable to the conventional technique. Leakage in sutures and anastomoses occur in 1% and after duodenal closure in 2.6%. Bleeding has been observed with the GIA and LDS staplers (0.7%-1%). Mortality is equal to the conventional technique. The time saved during operations and fewer infections justify the elevated costs of the stapling devices.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007421 Intestine, Small The portion of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT between the PYLORUS of the STOMACH and the ILEOCECAL VALVE of the LARGE INTESTINE. It is divisible into three portions: the DUODENUM, the JEJUNUM, and the ILEUM. Small Intestine,Intestines, Small,Small Intestines
D004386 Duodenum The shortest and widest portion of the SMALL INTESTINE adjacent to the PYLORUS of the STOMACH. It is named for having the length equal to about the width of 12 fingers. Duodenums
D005743 Gastrectomy Excision of the whole (total gastrectomy) or part (subtotal gastrectomy, partial gastrectomy, gastric resection) of the stomach. (Dorland, 28th ed) Gastrectomies

D013528 Surgical Staplers Fastening devices composed of steel-tantalum alloys used to close operative wounds, especially of the skin, which minimizes infection by not introducing a foreign body that would connect external and internal regions of the body.

D014629 Vagotomy, Proximal Gastric Vagal denervation of that part of the STOMACH lined with acid-secreting mucosa (GASTRIC MUCOSA) containing the GASTRIC PARIETAL CELLS. Since the procedure leaves the vagal branches to the antrum and PYLORUS intact, it circumvents gastric drainage required with truncal vagotomy techniques.
