Abstract
Spasm of the proximal sigmoid colon has been a major hindrance in the use of the EEA stapler in low anterior resections. Intravenous glucagon, by causing rapid relaxation and hypotonicity of the sigmoid colon, appears to help correct this problem and allows for a safer and more atraumatic anastomosis.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
