Usefulness of a powered circular stapler compared with a manual circular stapler in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery: A retrospective cohort study and systematic review.

ABSTRACT: Postoperative complications related to anastomosis, including postoperative anastomotic bleeding and anastomotic leakage, remain a serious issue. The effect of anastomotic devices on suture complications during intestinal anastomosis remains unclear. The present study examined the utility of automated anastomotic devices for reducing anastomotic complication risks. A retrospective cohort study of colorectal cancer surgeries in which an anastomosis device was used at Osaka University Hospital (Suita, Japan) between January 2018 and December 2022 was conducted. Cases of emergency surgery, inflammatory bowel disease and simultaneous surgery for other cancers were excluded. Experienced gastrointestinal surgeons performed manual anastomosis using the ETHICON Circular Stapler CDH or EEA Circular
