TLDR
The early experience is encouraging and the instrument creates an inverting anastomosis held by a double staggered row of stainless steel wire staples creating an anastsomosis 21.2 mm internal diameter with no significant inverted flange.Abstract:
A stapling instrument is described for end-to-end inverting anastomoses applicable principally to low rectal anastomosis or esophagogastric or esophagojejunal anastomosis. The instrument creates an inverting anastomosis held by a double staggered row of stainless steel wire staples creating an anastomosis 21.2 mm internal diameter with no significant inverted flange. The early experience is encouraging.read more

TL;DR: It is concluded that anastomoses to the rectum using the circular stapler can be done with low mortality and morbidity.

TL;DR: The evidence found was insufficient to demonstrate superiority of the stapling method over handsewing, independent of the level of colorectal anastomosis.

TL;DR: The Risk Difference method (random effects model) and NNT for dichotomous outcomes measures and weighted mean difference for continuous outcomes measures, with the corresponding 95% confidence interval, were presented in this review.

TL;DR: Pelvic exenteration in patients with recurrent cervical and vaginal malignancy is associated with a durable > 50% 5-year survival, and recurrent uterine corpus cancer in young women (< 55 years) should be included as an indication for the surgery.

TL;DR: It appears that the EEA stapler can save as many as 12 percent of rectums that otherwise might have to be removed because of technical inability to perform an anastomosis.
