PGI9 Using a New Powered Stapling System with Gripping Surface Technology Is Associated with Better Intraoperative Outcomes Among Patients with Gastric Carcinoma

Bleeding is one of the major complications related to the anastomosis after gastrectomy. During gastrectomy, stapling thick gastric tissue can be challenging and might lead to intraoperative bleeding. Thus, a newer powered stapling system was introduced to account for tissue movements and might associated with fewer intraoperative intervention. Thus, we aim to evaluate the bleeding complications and its immediate management such as endoscopic intervention with the use of the new stapling system.
