Abstract
Bowel injury is a rare but potentially fatal complication of laparoscopy if it is unrecognized at the time of the procedure. Once a bowel injury is identified, it must be repaired by either laparoscopy or laparotomy. The Endo GIA 30 stapler is effective for achieving large-vessel hemostasis and facilitating laparoscopic procedures, and is reported safe for laparoscopic hysterectomy. It was used successfully in two women to repair extensive bowel injuries.
