PURPOSE Pelvic sepsis is a serious complication after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis that may lead to pouch failure or poor function. Although a temporary loop ileostomy may be created at the time of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis to prevent or minimize the consequences of an anastomotic leak, research has suggested that an ileostomy can be safely omitted in selected patients...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic gastrectomy has recently been gaining popularity as a treatment for cancer; however, little is known about the benefits of intracorporeal (IC) gastrointestinal anastomosis with pure laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) compared with extracorporeal (EC) anastomosis with laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG). METHODS Between June 2000 and December 2011, we asse...

OBJECTIVE In gracilis functioning free muscle transplantation, the limited caliber of the dominant vascular pedicle increases the complexity of the anastomosis and the risk of vascular compromise. The purpose of this study was to characterize the results of using a T-shaped vascular pedicle for flow-through anastomosis in gracilis functioning free muscle transplantation for brachial plexus inju...

Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is frequently complicated by intraoperative and postoperative bleeding, particularly at the aortic anastomosis site. Many modifications of the anastomosis have been attempted. We describe a simple method to anastomose the LVAD outflow tract to the ascending aorta with minimal bleeding and a short anastomosis time.

OBJECTIVE The study presents the results of reconstruction surgery of lesions on n. facialis with n. hypoglossus and n. accessorius performed in our clinic. PATIENT GROUP AND METHODS 10 patients were treated by anastomosis of n. facialis with n. hypoglossus (HFA), 1 patient by anastomosis of n. facialis with n. accessorius (AFA). All operations were performed under the microscope; HFA and AFA...

ANATOMICAL studies in man on the degree of anastomosis existing between the external carotid artery and the ophthalmic arteries are a necessary condition of the rational surgical treatment of carotid-cavernous fistulae, as this treatment may carry with it a threat to vision in the eye on the operated side if the anastomosis is inadequate. What must be proved is the negative proposition that ina...

Abstract For patients undergoing an Ivor Lewis esophagectomy with a circular stapled anastomosis, the optimal diameter of used stapler to restore continuity is unknown. The aim this study was compare 25 mm versus 28 esophagogastric anastomosis after esophagectomy, focusing on anastomotic insufficiency and post- operative strictures. Between February 2008 June 2019, 349 consecutive underwent gas...

The paper presents the results of various studies and meta-analyses which focus on assessing frequency formation clinically significant pancreatic fistulas in types pancreatic-digestive anastomoses. Pancreatodigestive anastomosis is not an independent predictive factor complications. None modern pancreatodigestive has proved its superiority. choice method based correct selection organ with stum...

abstract background: end-to-side esophagojejunostomy has almost always been associated with some degree of dysphagia. to overcome this complication we decided to perform an end-to-end anastomosis and compare it with end-to-side roux-en-y esophagojejunostomy. methods: in this prospective study, between 1998 and 2005, 71 patients with a diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma underwent total gastrect...
