No significant leak difference between techniques; leaves open optimal stapling method after rectosigmoid resection.
Does double stapling technique reduce clinical leaks compared to single stapling technique in patients after rectosigmoid resection?
There is no statistically significant difference in clinical leaks between single and double stapling techniques for rectal anastomosis after rectosigmoid resection, though a trend favors double stapling.
