Use of a Powered Circular Stapler Can Prevent Anastomotic Air Leakage in Robotic Low Anterior Resection for Rectal Cancer

Objectives: Preventing anastomotic complications during rectal cancer surgery is important. Compared with a manual circular stapler, a powered circular stapler is expected to reduce undesirable tension during anastomosis. However, whether a powered circular stapler can reduce anastomotic complicatio...
