According to the reporter, during the laparoscopic complete stomach resection for cancer, while on anastomosis, there was incorrect b staple formation in all 12 reloads that were used; some were not properly formed, and some staples were opened.This causes the patient to have tissue bleeding and even spill bowel contents into the abdominal cavity.The staple line was incomplete distally and had to be reinforced with a suture to fix the staple line and resolve the issue.It was noted that the staples that fell off in the cavity and that were left open were removed.
