METHODS:The data were obtained prospectively from hospital held clinical database.Thirty nine patients(26 males,13 females)underwent upper-gastrointestinal resection between 1996 and 2000 for carcinoma(n=36), gastric lymphoma(n=1),and benign pathology(n=2). Double stapled oesophago-enteric anastomosis was performed in all cases. RESULTS:No anastomotic leak was reported.In cases of malignancy,the resected margins were free of neoplasm. Three deaths occurred,which were not related to anastomotic complications. CONCLUSION:Even though the reported study is an uncontrolled one,the technique described is reliable,and effective for oesophago-enteric anastomosis.展开更多
