The use of stapling devices has changed the practice of colorectal surgery. The authors report their experience with the "double stapling" technique introduced by Knight and Griffen in 1980 for the performance of low colorectal anastomosis. They treated 42 patients, with a mean age of 63.2 years. In 34 surgery was performed for rectal adenocarcinoma, while 8 patients were being reoperated on for closure of a colostomy after Hartmann's operation. In one patient a diverting colostomy was fashioned because of poor bowel cleansing, secondary to a stenosing rectal carcinoma. Mortality was nil. There were no clinical anastomotic leaks. There were 2 cases of late postoperative anastomotic stenosis that responded to endoscopic pneumatic dilatation.
