Kumacone II: An adapter to aid in the placement of a purse-string suture in very low anterior rectal resection
1993
We have designed an adapter called the “Kumacone II”, being a bottle-shaped rubber device which greatly aids in placing a purse-string suture, even at the lowest level near the anorectal junction of the rectum. When this adapter is used, performing the anastomosis is much less time-consuming and not as much training is needed as for low anterior resection using conventional manual suturing. In a clinical study, the incidence of leakage and incontinence was nil in five out of five patients.
