Abstract
A modification of single stapled colorectal anastomosis utilizing a re usable stapler head (transanal insertion device [TAIS]) is described. This modification minimizes the time that the proximal bowel is open b y allowing early placement of the circular stapler head, and minimizes the risk of rectal injury that may be associated with the passage of a circular stapling device without the head in situ.
