A novel modification of double stapling technique in Billroth I anastomosis

J Surg Oncol. 2009 Nov 1;100(6):518-9. doi: 10.1002/jso.21368.

Abstract

Although the double-stapling technique has been used as a safe procedure in gastroduodenostomy, creating anastomosis with a circular stapler on the linear stapler line can be vulnerable for anastomotic leakage and ischemia. Therefore, we tried to modify the double-stapling technique to avoid stapling on the staple line.
