Functional end to end colocolic stapled anastomosis

The functional end-to-end anastomosis is technically a side-to-side approach of constructing an anastomosis between the proximal and a mobile distal colon. It is not used for colorectal anastomoses.

Figure A depicts dividing the proximal colon with a linear stapler. The distal colon is also divided with a linear stapler.
Figure B depicts cutting the antimesenteric stapled corners from both the proximal and distal colon.
Figure C depicts inserting the linear stapler into both lumens.
Figure D depicts the stapled anastomosis between the proximal and distal colon, with the joined lumens open.
Figure E depicts Allis clamps securing the lumen in preparation for closure.
Figure F depicts a linear stapler placed distal to the Allis clamps and closing the lumen.
Figure G depicts the stapled functional end-to-end anastomosis.
