The ethicon eea stapler was placed through the rectum after the rectum had been dilated.An eea stapled anastomosis was then performed with 2 complete doughnuts.However, when the leak test was performed there was a large leak.The anterior wall of the staple line was open.The anastomosis was then taken down completely and the staple lines removed.A double purse-string anastomosis was then attempted robotically with an eea stapler.Upon evaluation of this second attempt, the doughnuts were not intact and there was also a leak on the leak test.The decision was made to open.
