ABSTRACT:
An extension mounting apparatus on which a bowel anastomosis ring device may be mounted in prefixed position to facilitate handling, insertion and closure in bowel ends to be anastomosed may be advantageously removably attached to an inserter to provide an applicator which enables insertion in the bowel and manipulation from a point exterior of the area to be anastomosed so as to cause the bowel anastomosis ring device halves to become controllably connected to couple the bowel ends to be joined together in contiguous abutting relationship. A method of performing low colorectal anastomosis using the bowel anastomosis ring device and closing the mating ring halves by manipulating the applicator exteriorly of the anus involves passing the inserter portion of the applicator from the interior of the rectum to the exterior of the anus so that placement is always from the clean area of surgery and anastomosis to the dirty and contaminated end.
