- Abstract
A method for distal pancreatectomy using the multifire GIA-80 stapler (US Surgical, Nonvalk, Connecticut, USA) is reported that is quicker, associated with reduced blood loss and a lower incidence of pancreatic fistula than with other instruments such as the TA-55 stapler (Auto Suture, Ascot, UK). When performing total gastrectomy with distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy to complete a wide lymph node dissection in patients with advanced gastric cancer, this method of pancreatectomy can be useful.
