New anti-mesenteric delta-shaped stapled anastomosis: Technical report with short-term postoperative outcomes in patients with Crohn’s disease

Figure 1 Methods of the new anti-mesenteric side-to-side delta-shaped stapled anastomosis and the conventional functional end-to-end anastomosis technique. A: After a small anti-mesenteric incision was made, a linear stapler was inserted into the incision to perform the anastomosis; B: The conventional functional end-to-end anastomosis closed the open window transversely; C: The anti-mesenteric functional end-to-end delta-shaped stapled anastomosis technique was performed with a vertical closure of the open window using a linear stapler.
