[Experience with the clinical use of the PKS-25 and KTs-28 suturing devices].

A study of the experience gained during many years of use in the surgical practice of a stitcher PKS-25 for establishing esophageal-intestinal anastomoses and of the KTs-28 apparatus for anastomosing the colon with superjacent segments of the large intestine proved their efficient performance. Their utilization makes it possible to reduce the percentage of lethal outcomes due to inadequacy of the anastomosis sutures following operations involving gastrectomy, resection of the cardia, esophagus and segments of the large intestine.
