Transanal Dilation Using Circular Stapling for Benign Rectal Stenosis: Report of a Case

Abstract

When a simple procedure such as bougie, balloon dilation and transanal incision are not effective for severe stenosis after colorectal anastomotic leakage, a surgical operation is required. We report a case of transanal dilation using circular stapling for severe stricture in the colorectal anastomosis following low anterior resection.
