Circular stapling devices can be used to extend the range of anterior resection of the rectum to encompass most of anterior resection of the rectum to encompass most rectal carcinomas. In one district general hospital the number of abdominoperineal resections performed in a 12-month period has been reduced from 27 to 4.
