Abstract:Intracorporeal anastomosis (IA) is gradually becoming widespread; however, there are no detailed reports on its configuration. The aim of this study was to create three-dimensional IA models and compare their configurations in detail. Three types of IA models were used: overlap anastomosis (OLA), delta-shaped anastomosis (DSA), and functional end-to-end anastomosis (FEEA). In experiment 1, three-dimensional images of each anastomosis model were created. Additionally, the length of each staple line comprising t… Show more
