THE SURGEON PROCEEDED TO PULL THE STAPLER OUT, AND IT CAME OUT WITHOUT THE ANVIL CONNECTED TO THE SPIKE. THE SURGEON HAD TO MANUALLY PULL THE ANVIL FROM THE PATIENT'S RECTUM. UPON INSPECTION, DONUTS WERE COMPLETE, AND THE LEAK TEST WAS NEGATIVE. THE SURGICAL TIME WAS EXTENDED BY 25 MINUTES. THERE WAS NO PATIENT INJURY.
