Although the double‐stapling technique has been used as a safe procedure in gastroduodenostomy, creating anastomosis with a circular stapler on the linear stapler line can be vulnerable for anastomotic leakage and ischemia. Therefore, we tried to modify the double‐stapling technique to avoid stapling on the staple line. J. Surg. Oncol. 2009;100:518–519. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
