The stapled transanal rectal resection (STARR) in patients with defecation disorders is limited by the shape and capacity of circular stapler. A new device has been recently developed, Contour Transtar stapler, order to improve safety effectiveness STARR technique. study designed confirm this declaration.From January June 2007 a prospective European multicentre consecutive disorder caused internal prolapse underwent assessment perioperative morbidity functional outcome after 6 weeks, 3 12...

Cross-border regions are multi-actor and multi-level spaces. Without any formal competencies they exclusively based on cooperation between widely self-organized systems (regions).
