Anastomotic leakage rate following modified double staple technique of anterior resection with vertical division of the rectum for rectal cancer surgery
Abstract:Introduction: Anastomotic leakage (AL) after double staple technique (DST) for rectal cancer surgery is a major complication. The aim of this study is to assess the usefulness of the modified double-stapling technique with vertical division of the rectum (IO-DST).
“…Tsubaki et al 35 reproduced the same technique of vertical division of the rectum in 43 consecutive patients with rectal cancer. Most procedures were done via open surgery, and 14% of patients had a diverting ileostomy.…”

“…Alternatively, the rectum may be divided vertically through the right lower quadrant port, a suprapubic port, the Pfannenstiel incision, or a miniature laparotomy. [88][89][90] This is often necessary when stapling deep in the pelvis for a low rectal transection. Curved linear cutting staplers or linear noncutting staplers may also be used with the open technique.…”
