Abstract
Eleven early anastomotic recurrences have occurred after 34 low anterior resections for carcinoma of the rectum performed during the past 2 years using the EEA staple gun. These recurrences all occurred after resection of locally advanced tumours and caused distressing symptoms, and it is suggested that this technique might be best reserved for more favourable growths.Entities:
