Coloanal anastomosis using a circular stapling device following perineal rectosigmoidectomy for rectal prolapse

Perineal rectosigmoidectomy 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...
