Sumario:Endovascular gastrointestinal anastomosis (Endo-GIA) staplers are widely used in various surgical procedures despite difficulties in operating them and associated mechanical failures. We present a case of a patient whose post-operative recovery was complicated by intraoperative Endo-GIA stapler failure, which is rarely reported in literature. Our report describes the behavior and consequences of surgical stapler failure so surgeons can anticipate challenges of newer surgical devices while maintaining optimal patient outcomes.
