Initial Assessment of Mucosal Capture and Leak Pressure After Gastrointestinal Stapling in a Porcine Model
2018
Background
Anastomotic leak is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in gastrointestinal surgery. The serosal aspect of staple lines is commonly observed for integrity, but the mucosal surface and state of mucosa after firing is less often inspected. We sought to assess the degree of mucosal capture when using stapling devices and determine whether incomplete capture influences staple line integrity.
