Some more distal loop was delivered out, and a single fire of 80 mm (COVIDIEN 80 mm-4.8 mm:UK) linear stapler device was used to close the distal limb at about 1-2 cm distal to the gangrenous part (Figures 2(a) and 2(b)). The dissected part of the proximal bowel loop was anchored to the skin using a 2/0 polyglactin suture (Figures 2(c) and 2(d)).
