TL;DR
Patients after rectosigmoid resection were randomized to a rectal anastomosis either in the single or double stapling technique, with no statistically significant difference between the two groups.
Abstract
Seventy patients after rectosigmoid resection were randomized to a rectal anastomosis either in the single or double stapling technique. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. A trend in favor of the double stapling technique was noted: 2.8 percent clinical leaks vs. 8.6 percent in the single stapling technique.

PubMedAn improved technique for low anterior resection of the rectum using the EEA stapler.

The technique using the EEA stapler for low anterior resection of the rectum has been modified to permit a low anastomosis that can be done with greater facility and safety and seems to document the safety of stapling across a staple line.

It appears that the EEA stapler can save as many as 12 percent of rectums that otherwise might have to be removed because of technical inability to perform an anastomosis.

The authors' preliminary experience has shown the double stapling technique to have definite advantages, it obviates the use of lower purse-string suture and permits a lower and easier anastomosis, It avoids the problem of disparity of sizes of the two ends of the bowel.

An experimental study involving circular stapled anastomoses across linear stapling closures is presented, and data support the use of this technique, which is currently employed in clinic practice.

The EEA stapler now offers an alternative to hand-sewn techniques for primary and staged low colorectal anastomoses and may allow a safer and lower resection than was previously possible.

The method of the end-to-end anastomosis (EEA) stapling instrument is modified, which requires the use of an intersecting staple line in a manner not previously described, to the knowledge.
