[Use of mechanical staplers in biliopancreatic diversion intervention].

The use of mechanical staplers in general surgery and in particularity in biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) has led to a marked reduction in the duration of surgery, thus requiring shorter anesthesia times. In obese subjects this also serves to reduce the risks related to their particular clinical and metabolic conditions. The authors report their experience in 53 patients; in 26 cases automatic linear staplers were used to create the ileal-duodenal and gastric tomy only, whereas the entero-entero anastomosis and gastro-entero anastomosis were performed manually using a biliopancreatic diversion technique.
