Feasibility of endoscopic hand suturing on rectal anastomoses in ex vivo porcine models
Abstract Prevention of postoperative anastomotic leakage in rectal surgery is still required. This study investigated the feasibility of endoscopic hand suturing (EHS) on rectal anastomosis ex vivo. By using isolated porcine colon, we prepared ten anastomoses 6–10 cm from the virtual anus. Then, we...
