Optimal Intracorporeal Anastomosis for Colectomy: A Comparative Experimental Evaluation Using 3D Anastomosis Models.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Application of intracorporeal anastomosis is gradually becoming widespread; however, there are no detailed reports on its configuration. We aimed to create three-dimensional intracorporeal anastomosis models and compare their configurations in detail.

Methods

Three types of intracorporeal anastomosis models were used: overlap anastomosis, delta-shaped anastomosis, and functional end-to-end anastomosis. In experiment 1, three-dimensional images of each anastomosis model were created. Additionally, the length of each staple line comprising the anastomotic site was measured. In experiment 2, the lengths of intestinal mobilization required for different anastomoses were compared.

Results

The circumference of the anastomosis in overlap anastomosis (141.5 ± 3.3
