Abstract

Perineal rectosigmodectomy with a hand-sewn anastomosis is thought to be the most appropriate procedure for elderly patients deemed unfit to tolerate a major abdominal operation. However, the use of a circular stapling device to perform the coloanal anastomosis following rectosigmoidectomy shortens the operative time and provides a more secure anastomosis than the traditional hand-sewn technique.
