At present, the forces required to form a stapled anastomosis demand large, rigid instrumentation. We have developed a compact, low force, flexible anastomotic device which can be compressed to allow for endoscopic deployment. We present our experience with seventeen successful anastomoses formed with this device in fifteen pigs, including a two week survival study in four.
