After a careful review of the literature and a critical evaluation of personal experience on stapling technics in visceral anastomoses, some critical considerations on circular devices are reported. The Authors emphasize the well known qualities of staplers which brought to their routine use in digestive surgery. Some complications exclusively due to an "imperfect" firing of the instrument are then reported. Personal experience on a particular utilization of circular stapler for definitive colostomy is also reported. The Authors finally suggest some simple technical improvements.
