Anastomoses with the EEA stapling instrument were attempted to 40 patients from November 1981 through May 1984. Of the 7 patients with carcinoma of the esophagus, six underwent esophagogastrostomy and one, esophagojejunostomy. Twenty-three patients had esophagojejunostomy after total gastrectomy for carcinoma of the stomach. Six patients with esophageal varices underwent transection of the esophagus, and four had low anterior colorectal anastomosis for carcinoma of the rectosigmoid. One patient with carcinoma of the esophagus died 4 days after the operation from acute respiratory failure but without any signs of anastomotic leakage. Of the remaining 39 patients, the postoperative complication was observed in 7 patients. Five patients developed leakage, and others bleeding and stricture, of the anastomosis, respectively. Reoperation was not required in all patients except for one who developed stricture., 論文}, pages = {182--188}, title = {[原著]Experience with the EEA Stapling Instrument}, volume = {7}, year = {1984} }
